Description Bernard Choppy 2007-07-18 09:03:50 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

It's possible to configure the state of the NumLock key under /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc in specifying "NumLock=On" under the "[X-*-Greeter]" section.

Unfortunately, under kcontrol, I never found a GUI component to switch it on and off.

I think a checkbox could be added under the first tab (Appearance) or under the last one (Commodities).

(Oh, please not I'm not sure of the tab names because I use a french version).

Strangely enough, when "NumLock=On" is activated under kdmrc, I lose the NumLock immediately after login in kdm, whereas the "numlock state when KDE starts" is setup as "leave state" under kcontrol/peripherials/keyboard. I don't know if this has to be reported separately?

re comment #1: this is intended behavior. kdm always restores the state. the keyboard config otoh relates to the user session itself.
