Hi,
After changing the keyboard the numeric keys do not work using mandriva 2010.2
It works ok on windows xp and puppy linux.
Under puppy linux the setting is pc 101.
Mandriva the setting is Generic 105 key (intl) PC
Have tried a few different options

What DE do you use?
I know about such a problem in Ubuntu with Gnome. Maybe it will be helpful to you, though I'm not sure if you use Gnome, and if Gnome is available in Mandriva.

In Gnome we must go to System - Parameters - Keyboard, then find the section "Mouse buttons" and disable the emulation of mouse from the keyboard.

My system has Russian interface, so I'm not sure if these parametres are called so in English. But the idea is clear, I hope.

It seems to have fixed itself.
All the settings are as they were.

Arghh. I hate self repairing errors like these. No chance to learn something new...

i know this seems out there..... but you said numeric keypad...... Could NumLock have been off on the keyboard?
