Re: Why does Linux turn off num lock key?

somebody wrote:
I have my BIOS configured to turn the Num Lock key on.
When I boot, the Num Lock lights until Linux boots and
I see the message "Uncompressing Linux". A bit of
research and I found the setleds command, and added
this to my /etc/rc file:


INITTY=/dev/tty[1-8]
for tty in $INITTY; do
setleds -D +num < $tty
done


However, the Num Lock never lights. I'm running Fedora
Core 4. What do I need to do to have my Num Lock key on?

There is a little program, numlockx, that will take care of this for you.
You should be able to find it with google.
