IBM ThinkPad T42p: Numlock issue in xorg-x11 [SOLVED]

[Master One]

This is a very strange problem. On my ThinkPad, the "Num" key for toggling numlock is on the combined button "Num/Roll", so to toggle numlock, I need to press Shift+Num/Roll.

It is working as expected in a console, but not in xorg-x11.

If I press Shift+Num/Roll in xorg-x11, the numlock-led does not go on, and instead of beeing able to use the proper keys of the numpad-keymapping (e.g. "1" instead of "J", "2" instead of "K", and so on), those keys either control the mouse-cursor (e.g. "U" moves left, "O" moves right, and so on) or seem to do nothing (except when holding the Shift button in addition, then I get the desired behaviour!).

Maybe this is a problem with the button function mapping, but I could not find any hint or solution until now.

I used the following keyboard settings in my xorg.conf:

Try this command while in X:

Thank's a lot, that did the trick
