I did try your X11 script parameter tweak on RC1, but I regret to say that it
does not solve our problem, because:
The sequence during a Run Level 3 boot is:
1) Boot system
2) System presents user with Logon prompt.
a) note that X11 script will not have yet been executed
b) user name and/or especially password will have numeric chars
c) Num Lock is not enabled (as it was in the past)
3) User successfully logs in <<< auto Num Lock needed at this point >>>
4) User (eventually) does startx
a) startx detects /var/run/numlock-on, sets Num Lock
5) X GUI available to user with Num Lock now asserted
I have a couple of questions...
1) Which special piece of software enabled Num Lock in 11.4 that is not doing
it now?
2) If the kernel should be preserving/restoring Num Lock, is it a build option
that is no longer being done? (I presume not, just asking)
3) If the kernel should be preserving/restoring Num Lock, does the Torvalds'
kernel group acknowledge that this is their responsibility, and should the bug
be transferred to them?
