Keyboard LEDs are controlled by the kernel unless console is in the raw
mode (X), in which case it is left to userspace. I see it on my box that
sync between keyboards is broken while I am in X (so it is X problem)
and works when I am in text console (so I do not see the kernel
problem).

Since it does not work for you in text console either your setup must be
different than mine. If you switch to a text console and do

        sudo lsof /dev/input/event*

what do you see?

- lsof output from text console

lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/tom/.gvfs
      Output information may be incomplete.
COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
upowerd 2956 root   13r   CHR  13,64      0t0 7050 /dev/input/event0

Hmm, this looks correct. Do you have similar issues on any other boxes
or only your laptop? Does the LED state propagate between 2 USB
keyboards if you plug in both of them? What does /proc/bus/input/devices
show?

Thanks.
