CAPS lock status in Linux

803718

Hi,
I'm trying to get the CAPS lock status in Java to display the same to the user in my application. I've used the code

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getLockingKeyState(KeyEvent.VK_CAPS_LOCK) .

This works properly in Windows but throws UnsupportedOperationException in Linux. Can you help me to get the CAPS lock state in Linux.

Regards
Ruban
