I am not sure if this is relevant, but in your rc.local, add: setleds +num Nick Your suggestion is partly correct configuring X-terminals to always have NumLock turned on. To make this work you'll have to apt-get the "console-tool" package, and the numlockx package. In a directory called /etc/console-tools, there is a file named config. containing the following statement: #LED=+num. Uncommenting this file turns on NumLock at boot time. This is OK if you're only using X-terminals. I don't know about GNOME though. The problem is: KDE 3.5.5 and/or Xorg 7.01 turns it off when initialized, i.e. just before the KDM login-screen appears. Why I care: 1. Using passwords containig digits. 2. Switching users on the same computer. One user may have an open spreadsheet when another user needs to login. When the first user switch back the numlock-key is turned off. It's not a big deal, but quite annoying. [bugs.kde.org quoted mail] xorg7 must have changed something, indeed. ok, this suddenly works again after an upgrade to Xorg 7.2, so i deny any responsibility and claim it was an X bug. |
