I have a similar problem, and knowing how to trigger and cure it may (or may not) help some of you.
ET Wolfenstein (game) doesn't properly work with my azerty keyboard, so before launching it I execute xmodmap with a different layout file. After exiting, I want to restore the keyboard layout with: xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.be And then I have the problem some of you have: numlock will no longer work, nor will the arrow keys. In fact, no matter what keymap I select, I get that problem. Oddly, what solved it for me is : system > preferences > keyboard > layouts > layout options *Anything* I change there instantly solves it, even if I change "adding eurosign" settings or something. The numock light goes on again, and works again, as do arrow keys. Its quite possible Im doing something wrong, but I thought it might help track this problem. -- NumLock gets enabled unexpectedly on my laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/92482 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
