I'd love to get such a keyboard on my desk to eventually being able to
reproduce the problem you describe.
It seems there are some strange keyboards out there who have the problems
you describe.
There are several things you can do:
- send the keyboard to me to have a look at what it does ;-)
- start debugging the pcvt keyboard code and send diffs
- compile your kernel with PCVT_NO_LED_UPDATE, this will stop
touching the keyboard leds (this is for those weird
keyboards like yours)
- have a look in the code where option PCVT_PORTIO_DELAY is used
and defined, switch to using the DELAY() method and
increase the delay time
