I've just installed SUSE 10.2 on my test system. One thing I've noticed, is that the numlock key is always turned on, when I try to log in. This creates a problem when I attempt a remote login from my notebook computer, as some of the password characters become numbers. I have tried setting numlock to off, in the peripheral settings, as has worked in previous versions, but it doesn't appear to work with 10.2. Any suggestions?
I don't get it. The NumLock mode only affects the interpretation of the Home (7), UpArrow (8), PageUp (8), LeftArrow (4), (5), RightArrow(6), End (1), DownArrow (2) and PageDown (3) keys.
I don't see how that relates to the problem you describe, since one's password cannot include cursor navigation keys.
The problem occurs when I try to use my ThinkPad for a remote login. On most notebook computers, numlock causes some of the letter keys to become numbers. For example, with numlock on, J becomes 1, K becomes 2 etc. It didn't cause problems for desktop systems and full size keyboards.
Further on this. The numlock had to be turned off on the system I want to log in to, not the one I'm using as a remote X terminal. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
