Hello.

My numlock key flicks off when I first log in and whenever I change passwords.
It happens on both desktop and inside google chrome browser. 

This has been going on for quite a while. It was first reported to the opensuse
hardware forums.

I have tried everything to resolve this including applying a gdb trap for the
various pinentry routines but caught nothing. I am a windows c/c++ software
developer so I have experience with event trapping and I will try to trap the
syscall for numlock change.

But also, I experimented with using openBSD because of security concerns
(openssl not updated since 2013). However, after getting it configured I woke
up in the morning to find the power light on the cpu was off, but the numlock
light was on. I had wake-on-lan turned off in bios as well but somehow ....

In a previous job I was an accounts manager to electrical engineering
department at a local university and there was more than one time my jaw hit
the floor with what they could do with logic/circuit analyzers and a soldering
gun, so virtually *anything* is possible. I have also worked for company that
did some work for 5-sided building in Washington so I may be a target. Any help
is appreciated.
