Hello.
when my screen locks in xfce, the keyboard goes dark. Now when I press a key to reactivate the screen and I am in the password window, the keyboard stays dark and the light does not come back on. The keyboard light only comes on after entering the password when the system is unlocked again.
Unfortunately I have not found any help or settings in the wikis and the forums that could solve my problem.
Is there a hidden setting or a configuration file where you can reactivate the keyboard light even when entering the password?

. I guess it needs some testing, to find the best to your HW/SW combination and needs.
