Hi SuSErs  :)

from the SuSE Knowledge_Base, I got the following :-
.............................................
Activate Numlock key at the start of X

Request:

You would like to have the Numlock key activated at the start of the
graphical user interface instead of pressing the Numlock-key manually. 

Procedure:

Use the following program to activate the NumLock-key 

//numlock.c
#include 
#include 

int main(void) {
        Display* disp = XOpenDisplay( NULL );
        if( disp == NULL )
                return 1;
        XTestFakeKeyEvent( disp, XKeysymToKeycode( disp, XK_Num_Lock), True, CurrentTime );
        XTestFakeKeyEvent( disp, XKeysymToKeycode( disp, XK_Num_Lock), False, CurrentTime );
        XCloseDisplay( disp );
        return 0;
}

Create a file Numlock.c with the program code mentioned above and
enter the command 

gcc -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib -o setnumlock Numlock.c -lX11 -lXtst

To successfully invoke this command you need the C compiler(series d,
package gcc) and the include files of the X libraries(package xdevel,
series x). You will find a program called setnumlock in the current
directory. You have to copy this file into the directory /usr/bin/local
and make an entry in the file ~/.xinitrc. 
..............................................................

I believe that I have read this stuff, and have the libraries needed.
.. . . maybe I did not understand what I read !

Attempts to execute the instructions, in the directories of
/root, then /usr/src/linux, and finally /home/myself  have all failed  :(

Did anyone have better luck ?

best wishes

Richard
