Re: [newbie] No NUMBER lock? Solved
I discovered the problem is not the version of numlock but the file to invoke: In Mandrake 7.1, the command to enter was "numlock". In Mandrake 7.2 it is "/usr/X11R6/bin/enable_X11_numlock" (without the quotes). The 7.1 kde autostart folder is no longer functional. The new autostart folder in 7.2 is ~/.kde/autostart. The kde2 in Mandrake 7.2 overwrites the root window so that commands like xsetroot no longer take effect. etc., etc. Is there somewhere where one can read the changes made so as not to waste days trying to devine what Mandrake did here or there? Thanks. Tom Brinkman wrote: [snip] I gave my 7.1 CD's away, so I'm not sure, but I believe you'll find a 'numlockrpm' on 7.1 CD's or from a 7.1 mirror.

For X, you need to edit the file '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/types/basic'.
The

To set NUMLOCK on by default, simply change every occurrence of "Level1"
to
"Level2" and change every occurrence of "Level2" to "Level1" (without the

change as well (i.e. the light will be lit when NUMLOCK is OFF and will
be
dark when NUMLOCK is ON).
I did what you said with the Level #s but it didn't work, I restarted x
every which way with numlock on, off whatever I could but it doesn't
work. the numlock worked in my LM 7.1 so I even tried the old LM 7.1 pkg
in 7.2(b4 I changed those settings you suggested) and it didn't work. I
tried the settings you said with the old numlock pkg installed didn't
work. So i uninstalled it, and it didn't work. So one more thing to try I
guess. Your settings with the 7.2 numlock pkg and then if it doesn't work
give up and wait til the cooker has an update.

Re: [newbie] No NUMBER lock?
The way I got round it was to install or make sure the numlock RPM was installed (can't remember which now) Then I went into the Autostart folder :- /home/.kde/Autostart and created a new Application - set permissions to RWX for user and "execute" is simply /usr/X11R6/bin/enable_X11_numlock This switches numlock on when KDE starts On Monday 20 November 2000 20:42, you wrote: Number lock keeps resetting.
