When is the -N option useful? I've never used it. On my setup the
Numlock state always seems to be set correctly.
The man page on rdesktop states...
-N Enable numlock syncronization between the Xserver
and the remote RDP session. This is useful with
applications that looks at the numlock state, but
might cause problems with some Xservers like Xvnc.
I still can't really tell from this description as to the percieved
behavior.
Is this something should always be used when using rdesktop?

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:

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
