It should be in a tab marked "mouse keys", not "layout". Another possibility is that it's in some other configuration tool under "assistive technologies - keyboard accessibility".

Some people with this problem seem to have solved it by just pressing Control-Shift-NumLock. Don't ask how!

CVAlkan I tried your suggestion first as it seemed easiest. The terminal output I have is exactly the same as you posted.

David McCann- Eureka! Problem solved - the mouse settings under Accessibility had the 'mouse pointer' thing I had been looking for and now I have numbers :-)

SO just to clarify....your numbers key pad works now?
