You mean like a virtual number keypad (i.e., 0-9?) > ><snip>I haven't tried Fluxbox as yet, but since so far Gnome >is the only one with this issue on the same machine I >presume it is a Gnome issue. > are the virtual keys supposed to be accessible via a function key, or function-numberlock key combination? Mine works that way, but only in windows. If I have the virtual number pad locked on in windows, then boot into gnome-linux, there becomes no way to deactivate it. Same goes for touchpad, wireless, etc. I have to boot back into Windows, reenable, then good to go. I've confirmed this behaviour on my specific laptop with both Ubuntu and Debian. I assume Windows is modifying something at the bios level, that linux doesn't know how to deal with. I've never considered testing this with a different desktop to see if it persists, though. <--> ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
