ruby cvs keyboard leds

[Aivils S. <Aiv...@un...>]

Hi, James

Keyborad leds will switch flaky with
drivers/char/keyboard.c scopespace variable
static unsigned char ledstate = 0xff;              /* undefined */
static unsigned char ledioctl;

Instead I use vc->vc_ledstate , vc->vc_ledioctl.
With this one several keyboards leds switch independ.

I fixed the sync issue in CVS. I applied your changes. It should work now.
