I never set them, and these keys work for me both in VTs and X apps,
on my Sarge systems. Earlier versions of Debian and X had problems
like this.
Well, my BIOS sets NUMLOCK on, but Sarge and Etch both turn it off, at least
with the gnome desktop. I have to manually turn NUMLOCK back on.
I was referring to keymapping issues. Sorry if I misunderstood the issue here.
I agree that the default state of NUMLOCK should be easily configurable, and
possibly even stored between reboots.
Even the
bozos in Redmond have figured out that users want the computer to remember
how _they_ like it without the user taking any action or editing any
initialization scripts. If we want Linux to be the ubiquitous OS, and not
just for the cognoscenti, we can't ignore details like this.
Sounds like a good reason to file a wishlist bug report.
