Came here from

http://askubuntu.com/questions/339028/caps-lock-indicator-not-synced

And confirm that this is also the case for NumLock (my CapsLock is
repurposed, I have a Model M ;-) )

Title:
  caps lock works across all keyboards but LED does not

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Am using an external keyboard on a laptop (Dell Studio 1555) and have
  noticed that on any external keyboard if I press Caps Lock on the
  laptop's own keyboard that the LED will not light on the external
  keyboard, although anything that I type on that keyboard will be
  capitalized.  this was not a huge problem but I also recently got my
  hands on a Noppoo Choc Pro keyboard which apparently reports to the PC
  as several different keyboard controllers to achieve NKRO over USB and
  on that keyboard the Caps Lock LED does not function at all.  I did
  verify that it functions 100% correctly in Windows 7, so it does not
  appear to be a problem with the keyboard, rather, I suspect that the
  Caps Lock key and the Caps Lock LED are reporting on two different
  virtual keyboard controllers.  If I use the Noppoo keyboard as a PS/2
  keyboard and then connect it to the PC through a Belkin active PS/2 to
  USB adapter, the Caps Lock LED functions correctly.
