Hi,

another report of weird behavior on 7.0-PRERELEASE.
After booting up the machine with IBM ThinkPad USB
keyboard, it shows NumLock correctly turned on. However,
after pushing any key that should change led status,
it starts to show a state that doesn't make any sense
(e.g. after pressing NumLock, NumLock led is correctly
turned off but also ScrollLock and CapsLock are turned
on - this is just led problem, the state of the keyboard
is OK). The same keyboard works just fine with
6.2-RELEASE.
