[Mactel-linux-users] NumLock doesn't work on X.org

[Mildred <ml.mildred593@on...>]

Hi,

I have a very annoying problem. When I'm using Xorg, NomLock key
doesn't work. That is, it doesn't witch on and off the keypad. This can
make my complete keyboard unusable because these times, Xorg starts and
activates by itself NumLock. So I only have access to numeric keys and
no letters.

I even can't use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to reset the X server. I have to
open a console and copy&paste letter by letter to create a command line
to do for example "sudo chvt 1" and stop X11.

On the linux virtual console, I have no problems.

Also, I didn't changed the default behaviour, Fn keyx are accessed
through the fn key and brightness, volume, numlock and so on are
accessed directly.

Do you have any ideas how to solve that ?

Mildred

hi Mildred. there's a configuration option somewhere, possibly within
X.org, that allows you to set whether or not NumLock is on when you
boot up. i can't remember where it is, but a search on Google should
tell you.
