This might sound like a dumb reply... try pressing the NUMLOCK key over
the numeric keypad...

I know how to make NUMLOCK go on in a regular console (without running
X). Put this in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

initty=/dev/tty[1-8]
for tty in $initty; do
  setleds -D +num < $tty
done

I don't know yet how to make that go on automatically when starting X, but
that is a matter of time :)
