I have tested again : 1 - With yast, using sysconfig editor, i have settled "KBD_NUMLOCK=yes", and have checked the variable in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard. I have rebooted my PC and i can see that numlock light is on, and numeric keypad is working. 2 - Same thing, but i have settled "KBD_NUMLOCK=bios" and have restarted my PC. The BIOS turns on the LED, but it turns off after booting openSUSE. You may notice that setting sysconfig variable to "KBD_NUMLOCK=yes" and simply restarting kbd service is not enough to get a working numeric keypad. What I was meaning with "at start time" is the numeric keypad status before KDE starts. You can go also through KDE configuration, select "computer administration", "keyboard and mice", "keyboard" and choose to activate/deactivate or let numeric keypad in same state. In fact, we have to consider : 1 - NUMLOCK keyboard at boot time (BIOS) 2 - NUMLOCK keyboard at system level 3 (running service kbd), and the problem raised by this bug report 3 - NUMLOCK keyboard at system level 5 (graphical desktop) This may be a BIOS problem. I have an ASUS P5K-E WiFi/AP with latest BIOS v1305. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
