[Bug 589904] New: setting numlock status to on for KDM in YAST2 does not stick

Booting - when reaching the KDM login screen numlock is not turned on. Going in to YAST2 > System > /etc/sysconfig Editor > KBD_NUMLOCK this is set to "BIOS" which obviously does not seem to be working. Change setting to "YES" and numlock is set to "on" when reaching KDM screen - but does not work 100% of the time. Sometimes, for an unknown reason the numlock is left turned off. No apparent reason for this behaviour.

?!? Simply check if that file exits. Sorry, I don't know how to explain it better. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

OK. My last boot numlock was not turned on. File /var/run/numlock-on exists but is an empty file. Is this correct?
File (empty is fine) exists but numlock was not turned on? That's weird, since in that case numlockx should be running. /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup: [...] # # Enable Numlock if set # if test -r /var/run/numlock-on && type -p numlockx > /dev/null ; then numlockx on fi What happens when you run these commands manually in a terminal? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
