Hi All
I have kde 4.1 install but cannot get numlock to turn on during bootup - I have it in my default run level but still numlock does not turn on - any other things to checks?
Cheers
Shelton.

I don't know about kde4, but in kde3 it was possible to automatically activate numlock after login. Perhaps you can find it in the keyboard configuration panel in "system settings".

You can add 'numlock' to the init scripts
| Code: |
rc-update add numlock default
|
But it seems KDE won't keep the numlock state when it start,
So you will have to go to the systems settings / keyboard to enable it in KDE |

Numlock is off after boot, except if the numlock service is running:
| Code: | rc-update add numlock default
|
KDM switches it off again - except if you have in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:
| Code: | ...
[X-*-Greeter]
NumLock=On
|
Logging in switches it off again, except you said something else in your keyboard settings:
systemsettings - keyboard & mouse - NumLock on KDE Startup "On" or "Unchanged"
(this is ~/.kde4/share/config/kcminputrc:
| Code: | [Keyboard]
Numlock=0
|
Someone does not want to let us use the numpad  |

yes thanks - after I did a search on google I found a post and you have to do this:
| Code: | vi ~/.kde4/share/config/kcminputrc
|
| Code: | [Keyboard]
NumLock=0
|
This worked 
Cheers
