[gentoo-user] NumLock puzzle

2016-05-24 Thread Philip Webb
I've noticed that the NumLock key goes off after 'startx'. My window manager is Fluxbox & I don't see any mention there nor does there seem to be any setting under /etc/X11 . I have added 'numlock' to the default runlevel, but that makes no difference. Can anyone suggest what I'm missing ? --
