Public bug reported:
Since a couple of days, in Jaunty, logging into Xorg always brings my numlock
on.
Problem is, I've got a laptop, so the numeric pad is overimposed to some normal
keys (u-i-o-p-j-k-l-m).
I cannot disable the numlock inside X for some strange reason; hitting
SHIFT+ScrollLock (equivalent to my numlock key on this ThinkPad G40) simply
doesn't make anything happen.
I've got to CTRL+ALT+F1 to a console, and there I can disable it, then
switch back to Xorg.
If someone made the numlock being on by default, please don't! This
breaks things to most laptop users. Moreover, since disabling it inside
Xorg is impossible at least for me, having to switch to a console and
then back in is quite painful.
As a workaround, is there something I can put in xorg.conf to force the
numlock to be disabled by default?
