I sure don't see anything there that gives a clue.  Have you tried
and duplicated the problem with a different WM?

I built and installed gnome2-lite and the keypad works correctly.  It 
also works correctly under Fedora Core 4 (dual-boot machine.  Sorry I 
didn't mention that earlier).


So, I suppose I should apologize to X.org and change the title to 
Keypad no longer works under KDE 3.5.  I presumed the problem was with 
X and not KDE since I had such trouble with my mouse when I upgraded  X 
to R6 and then saw that X had recently changed the keyboard driver.  I 
don't know exactly when it stopped working, but I'm guessing when I 
upgraded from KDE 3.4 to 3.5 in early February, 2006.


I googled kde keypad problem and found a reference that suggested 
hiding (renaming) the .kde subdirectory and the ,kderc file, both in the 
user's home directory.  When I restarted X, I had to go through the kde 
setup again, but the keypad works now.


You guys are geniuses.

Thanks for your time,
Don Hayford

Keypad no longer works under X

My numeric keypad no longer works under X except as a way to move the 
mouse cursor (i.e., no 1-9, etc).  The LED changes states when pushed.
