The problem is still in 6.2-PRE on AMD64 boxes. sometimes, sporadically, 
the LEDs work, but then they get stuck. I tried several keyboards - also 
a good old IBM one - always the same.
And, much more bad, the CAPS LOCK key doesn't work either. Keyboard is a 
core/basic functionality, and it seems not working properly anymore in 
6.X ...
