Jimmy,
Before you call rdesktop -N, try calling this:
xset led 1
This sets the numlock to on and I've had no problems getting it to sync.

If you use the -N flag in rdesktop the Sun Rays do not sync up correctly. It
takes four presses of the numLock key before it syncs up but then goes out of
sync the very next time you try it. However, it does not do this directly on
the server.
Is this a patched issue?
I'm currently at:
currentFW=3.0_51,REV=2004.11.10.16.18

Subject: [SunRay-Users] Minus key on number pad works only in
non-numlock mode
Date: Tue, 03 Jan 2006 10:52:05 -0600
I recently moved one of our accountants to a Sun Ray. She uses
excel via rdesktop. She quickly discovered that the minus ("-") key
on the 10 key pad works in the non-numlock mode no matter what mode
you have the numLock toggled to.
In other words:
In typical operation a user can take num lock off and then the
minus key acts as a select toggle key (much like a click and drag
with the mouse) within excel. However, when the user applies the
num lock the minus sign should now transmit an actual minus sign.
My user's minus key always operates as if it is in the non-numlock
mode. She is then prevented from entering a minus sign using your
number pad.
It isn't the Sun Ray because it behaves this way on the server’s
real terminal.
Thanks,
Fox
