I can confirm it worked on Hardy and isn't working in Intrepid.

This is on a macbook 2,1 C2D with 2.6.27-7-generic x86_64.

pommed and applesmc are installed and running.

I had this problem too, and the F11 - F12 keys didn't work. I get it solved uninstalling the mouseemu package.

Thank you Tomas.
I can confirm that uninstalling mouseemu restores the functionality of Num and Caps lock LEDs.

I can also confirm that uninstalling mouseemu fixes the caps lock LED on my Macbook Pro Penryn.

It seem as though removing mouseemu also "solved" bug #293139.
Bug #293139 now seems to fall back to Bug #280290.

Hmm, this may have been a premature conclusion.
I experienced Bug #280290 after removing mouseemu, instead of the usual bug #293139.

But I experienced bug #293139 again despite mouseemu still being uninstalled.

Oh dear. I'm making a mess of things. Bug #293139 should read Bug #292139.

This is still a problem. I think the fix should be that mouseemu is not enabled by default.
