Hello, I'm going to follow the template... Keyboard NumLock on after APM suspend/restore On my laptop, when I restore the machine from a suspended state, it usually comes up with 1) the screen cleared (but apparantly this is caused by something that the kernel knows about as it is smart enough to put the prompt at the top of the screen) and 2) the scroll lock has been turned on. I have been unable to determine why this is so but I suspect that it may be a problem with either Power Management and/or the keyboard driver. This does not happen all of the time but fairly often. Also, the screen clear and the scroll-lock problem may be separate issues as sometimes I get the scroll-lock without the screen clear. (It is possible that a particular garbage string is being sent through the keyboard after a restore that just happens to do these things through an escape sequence, etc.) Keywords: apm, keyboard Kernel version 2.2.0-pre6 (and previous) -- Versions installed: (if some fields are empty or looks -- unusual then possibly you have very old versions) Linux localhost.localdomain 2.2.0-pre6 #5 Mon Jan 11 22:26:46 EST 1999 i586 unknown Kernel modules found Gnu C 2.7.2.3 Binutils 2.9.1.0.15 Linux C Library 2.0.7 Dynamic linker ldd (GNU libc) 2.0.7 Linux C++ Library 2.8.0 Procps 1.2.9 Mount 2.8a Net-tools (1998-06-29) Kbd 0.96 Sh-utils 1.16 processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 5 model : 8 model name : Mobile Pentium MMX stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 267.275996 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no sep_bug : no f00f_bug : yes fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 mmx bogomips : 532.48 unix 9976 33 (autoclean) nls_iso8859-1 2024 1 (autoclean) nls_cp437 3548 1 (autoclean) vfat 13108 1 (autoclean) fat 24012 1 (autoclean) [vfat] My laptop is a Compaq Armada 1598DMT with APM version 1.2. My keyboard includes "Compaq Programmable Keys" (which appear to just be able to be programmed with scancodes, but I have not yet determined a way to do that under Linux.) but is otherwise as standard as they get on laptops.
