Num lock OFF and Caps & Screen Lock ON at Linux startup. Reversing?

Caps lock and scroll lock are turned on at startup, and num lock is off. Is there a way to reverse this at startup? It's setup correctly in the BIOS, but boots this way in OpenSuse 11.1 Linux.

Thanks,
Petey

And if you reverse the BIOS settings, what happens?

RH based distros generally have a package called numlockX to handle the numlock issue. I would suspect that other distros have a similar package.
