Dustin, the ball's=20 > in your court :-) I looked at the original Debian Bug, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D317010 The libsdl1.2 package in Ubuntu is no longer carrying that patch, debian/patches/005_lock_keys.diff. So I don't think that's quite the cause of this. As for reproducing the bug, eventually, I was able to get my host and guest caps-lock keys out of sync, if I went back and forth, between guest and host, toggling caps-lock. What's the desired behavior here? I don't have much of an opinion (other than that the caps-lock key is a waste of valuable keyboard real estate, that I never actually use on purpose, only ever hitting it accidentally and causing problems :-) :-Dustin --=-KdZSSkPB9LZVyeb8gfAt Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkt1vvAACgkQs7pNXIOmEZQoUgCdE/hjoDDZYCkkm5PfeGtMw8Qq qF8AniRT4EROBa7scp/DEqgra7/C80cq =iTf/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-KdZSSkPB9LZVyeb8gfAt--
