The indicators are controlled by a code as on the linked table. The
kernel could be the problem or some driver for the keyboard.
Are you using a USB or PS2 type of keyboard?

Jim
An old Logitech PS2 keyboard works correctly.
A recent Belkin USB keyboard works differently. In F7T3, none of its lights function. However when I plug it into the PS2 port through a USB to PS2 adapter, it works correctly in F7T3.
The Dell USB keyboard will not function plugged into the PS2 port through the adapter.
Any definitive package to post a bug against?
Thanks.
