I do not see how this is a duplicate of bug #196277.

For my setup with a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04 on an iBook G4, it
seems that CapsLock is not working as a modifier because even though I
hold the key down, it is sending the KeyRelease event immediately after
sending the KeyPress event.  So it seems that it is mapping correctly,
but perhaps the keyboard driver (or maybe Xorg) is not correctly
noticing that the CapsLock is held down.  Here's the output from xev;
notice the two events have the exact same time values:

KeyPress event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3600001,
    root 0x114, subw 0x0, time 41882227, (64,177), root:(80,298),
    state 0x2, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffe5, Caps_Lock), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3600001,
    root 0x114, subw 0x0, time 41882227, (64,177), root:(80,298),
    state 0x2, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffe5, Caps_Lock), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

PropertyNotify event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3600001,
    atom 0x170 (XKLAVIER_STATE), time 41882235, state PropertyNewValue


Here's my uname info:
Linux smallfry 2.6.28-6-powerpc #20-Ubuntu Fri Apr 17 08:30:40 UTC 2009 ppc GNU/Linux

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
