Keyboard LEDs are controlled by the kernel unless console is in the raw
mode (X), in which case it is left to userspace. I see it on my box that
sync between keyboards is broken while I am in X (so it is X problem)
and works when I am in text console (so I do not see the kernel
problem).

Since it does not work for you in text console either your setup must be
different than mine. If you switch to a text console and do

	sudo lsof /dev/input/event*

what do you see?

Thanks.
