Filco TKL Scroll lock not light up under linux

[pheo]

EDIT: Just tested on windows box and scroll lock led works correctly.

Spoiler:

Hello,
I have just received a brand new Filco TKL and under Linux scroll led does not light up. Chekcing with xev, key it is working correctly. I googled and I found a GH theme with same issue but under MAC. I dont have a windows right now to check it out. And the previous kb I was using was a simple wireless logitech rubberdome with no led. Does it happens to those using linux?
Caps led works ok.
Apart from that it is amazing the how solid the boards looks like. I am very happy with it.

Are you using Ubuntu?* The scroll lock key/light doesn't work on my generic MS keyboard at work either.

If you run

Code: Select all

xmodmap -pm

in a terminal window, it should show a list of keymappings and an empty key (mine is mod3) with nothing mapped to it.

To get it working temporarily you should run

Code: Select all

xmodmap -e 'add mod3 = Scroll_Lock'

(make sure those single quotes are single quotes) and replace mod3 with whatever key was missing from the first command. Toggle the key a few times to see if it now works.

If it does you can add

Code: Select all

add mod3 = Scroll_Lock

to /etc/X11/Xmodmap by doing

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/X11/Xmodmap

to edit the file (you will need your root password) and copying that line in and saving.

*I can only comment on Ubuntu as that is what we use at work but xmodmap should be pretty generic to most/all Linux distros.

Hey mattics! that is great. I wanted to look up if there was any solution, but I havent had the time. It is very appreciate you bring it here with the solution. I tried, I am using debian, and I had the same key mod3 remapped, it works perfect now scroll lock led is on when keypressed.
Thanks.
