Numeric keyboard

[nilsA]

Sometimes I use the numeric keys to the right of my keyboard. But on this install, Hardy, it is simply dead. Is this something not yet fixed, or have I simly made a stupid choice somewhere in the process? (I use the standar "no" Norwegian keyboard.)

The keyboard section in xorg.conf is like th is:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "no"
Option "XkbVariant" "no"
EndSection

... and it is a pretty standard Logitec Multimedia keyboard.

How do I fix this if possible?

Doesn't work here either. I'm running HH and KDE 4, and I'm not sure which to blame for the bug. I open Kcontrol > Peripherals > Keyboard and put an "X" in the "Turn On" item under "NumLock on KDE Startup". But, after restarting KDM, it still does not work. I think we're waiting for a bug fix.

Re: Numeric keyboard

On my installs:
NumLock is enabled and working on GG/kde3 and HH/kde3.
MumLock is enabled but doesn't work in GG/kde4 and HH/kde4.

So, I guess it is a kde4 issue/bug.

Ah, now I get it: Does not start with NumLock on. Quick System Settings change and ... 123, testing, testing ...456 ...

But then, I use kde 3.5. One more reason to stay away from kde 4.

Well, I don't know if that is a reason. Just press the numlock key when you need it

I have been using kde4 90% of the time since its release and am happy with it.
