I've searched high and low, but I'm not too experienced with configuring xorg by hand. But, I only have one issue with Slackware and that's the keyboard. I'm using a laptop of course, a Toshiba Satellite P105-S6187. The issue I have is that although the keymapping is correct, the functions on my numeric keypad only function as numbers regardless if NumLock is on or off. But, some of the numbers have double functions. 7 is supposed to double as HOME, 9 as PageUp, 3 as PageDown, 1 as END. So, when NumLock is off the 1 is supposed to function as END and 7 as HOME. Instead, they only function as numbers regardless. Here is my keyboard section from xorg.conf.

if it was the num lock code then there was still a active file in the /tmp/ this has been a big issue with me running the gnome and kde together on 12.1. for some reason the start up scrpts were not removing the old session in tmp drove me nuts took me a while to figure this out. and as you know there was some bizarre things that were in my logs. radio the esd stuff if you really want some good trouble shooting put the gnome with the kde in slakware and have fun with a seahorse . I am glad you got it.
thats what it is all about. |
Solved! Here's the new code for my Xorg that fixes the numerical keypad issue, and apparently even my VT Switching now works too. I had a problem where, no matter what runlevel I booted into, the second I started X I lost VT Switching. But now, it works, and all I had to do was comment out THIS line.

Either that, or you can just ignore the errors as I mentioned earlier since they are apparently just useless noise in this case. |

As I mentioned, the errors do not appear if in KDE Num Lock is set to Off or Leave unchanged. For people who do not use Num Lock they never will see the errors. Quote:
Still is sloppy programming, however. :) |
For what its worth, With 12.1 installed numlockx running from /.kde/autostart, worked quit well every time; Since installing 12.2, I thought it did not work, until I found and read this thread; Then I realized that even though the light was not on, numlock was enabled
