Re: [TESTING] Updated 1/26/11 New Kernel (Caps/FN LEDs)

Might be good to note, whatever userland Android actually shows is what is accurate. We're just trying to get the LEDs to match .

Let me know what else you find - WisTilt2 is already aware of this issue. Other than that, they seem to work great for me!

He also included some more power management fixes, but they're only slight - he wanted to see if anyone noticed a difference in drain. I don't watch it that closely, but if any of you guys do let me know if you see a diff. Thanks!
Thanks for the update. Like you said, for the most part things are working correctly now.

I peered at the IRC kernel logs, and it seems like he's just coding it into the kernel when to light the lights for now as opposed to actually hooking it into Android, and will be saving the real hook-in until later.

In light of that, I'd say that the lights are working perfectly fine now. There's a variety of ways to easily to cause them to become misaligned from Android (press fn followed by shift, press fn/shift on the home screen and then bring up a text box, hold fn/shift and press a letter, slide the screen closed after pressing fn/shift, etc.), but it doesn't really seem worth his valuable time to worry about it.
