Num Lock
 

I am running Mandrake 9.1. The numlock dæmon is running on startup. However, it only sets numlock on for terminal sessions (ie CTRL-ALT-F1 to F6). When in the X-Session (CTRL-ALT-F7) the numlock boots as off.

I note that the system saves an individual numlock setting for all seven sessions. You can see it flash on and off as you switch screens/terminals. I'm sure it did not do this in the past so I must have altered a setting. I've tried Mandrake and KDE Control Centres and cannot find anything.

Any ideas?

Under Control Center go to Peripherals-->keyboard and select the numlock on startup option.

Thanks. I was looking in LILO because it only seemed to change when I altered my login to automatic.

It's amazing what you can find when you look in the right place, isn't it?

Just re-booted to make sure. OK!!!

So this is how you change it these days ... thanks :)

For us CLI freaks, do you happen to know what file(s) are affected?
