Package: xkb-data Version: 1.1~cvs.20080104.1-1 Severity: normal I have a ThinkPad T42. This and many other models of ThinkPad have the NumLk key on Shift+ScrLk. (Why they didn't do that the other way around I don't know.) On a Linux console, pressing Shift+ScrLk toggles numlock. However, in X, pressing Shift+NumLk does not toggle numlock; instead, it starts a mode in which the numeric keypad keys control the mouse. Note that this occurs even in a bare X session with only xterm running.
In order to make numlock work, I run this: xmodmap -e "keycode 77 = Num_Lock" Doing so makes numlock work as expected. According to <http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_get_special_keys_to_work#NumLock>, this issue applies to numerous ThinkPad models, including at least "the ThinkPad 600, T20, T21, T22, T30, X20, X21, X31, X40, T42p, T43, R51, R52". - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
