Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xkb-data
The scroll lock key does not do anything in X. This applies to ubuntu
6.06. I have tested this with two very different systems. The scroll
lock LED does not turn itself on, and it's impossible to get to the
"SCROLL" functionality of OpenOffice.org Calc.
The scroll lock key works as expected in the text VTs, but not in VT7
(or other X VTs).
Turning on the led through xset led 3 works as expected.
This is an issue to quite a few people because illuminated keyboards
often simply hardwire the light on the scroll lock-led. Therefore,
illumination does not work in Ubuntu without knowing the cryptic xset
commands.
I figure this is due to some misconfiguration of xkb, but this is an
area I know very little of.
