Re: [Cooker] Num-look doesn't work!
Even if I select to start "numlock" during the bootup sequence, it does NOT start! It could be useful instead ;) Well... The question is, is numlock on when you enter runlevel 3? 'Cuz I have kind of the same problem, but it's not because of the numlock setting. It's because of Enlightenment. Numlock is on in runlevel 3 and then turns off in runlevel 5. PS) At system shut-down I get a nice red: "shutting down numlock: failed" ... It's right anyway :)) I don't have that problem, so I'm not sure if your problem is bigger than mine. JJ

Go in console you should have the numlock activated. Under X you may not have it if you don't have a file called "numlock" in directory ``/etc/X11/xinit.d''.

The correct fix is to change the "if" statement in /etc/X11/xinit.d/numlock from: if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/numlock -a ... to: if [ -f /var/lock/sybsys/numlock -a ... My guess is the "indicator" file was moved for FHS compliance but this script was missed.
Re: [Cooker] Num-look doesn't work!
I have "numlock" in that directory, but numlock isn't on within X. It does come on automatically in runlevel 3, though.
