numlock on fluxbox startup

I've finally licked the sucker! It was too simple. All I had to do was install numlockx and then make it run as soon as I logged in. So I added it into my ~/.fluxbox/apps file :

Quote:

[startup] {numlockx on}

That's all I had to do and now it works great. Thanks for your help guys.

lol...simple enough. Why didn't we think of that?

You could also use escape codes at the shell.

\033[0q clear all keyboard LEDs (won't work from Xterm)
\033[1q set "Scroll Lock" LED
\033[2q set "Num Lock" LED
\033[3q set Caps Lock LED

just put echo -e "\033[2q" in your .xinitrc.
