I'm on an nVidia Mac Mini (Macmini3,1) running Jaunty, and the num-lock key works fine, but caps lock has the problem described here (key works, but the light doesn't light up). Removing the mouseemu package does correct the problem, as others here have stated, and does not disable the rest of my keyboard, nor does it seem to affect the operation of my mouse at all. I did already have applesmc loaded in the kernel (I didn't have to add that).
