I have a similar problem, i can't seem to compile numlockx with dsl - lots of stuff missing, when i try to compile it on another computer and transfer it, it runs but has no effect, doesn't turn on or off and doesn't give any error message.pressing the numlock key make the key function as they're supposed to, but the leds don't come on, same goes for scroll lock, the only one that lights a led.

ah.. i figured it out, i put in .xinitrc the following line:
and it made the led turn on, didn't affect the actual num-lock function but i never cared about that anyway. Posted by sunack on Oct. 11 2006,18:13
I have had the same situation. What happens is if you exit to a console numlock works great. Whe I go back into X, numlock works but the LED doesn't light. I tried every crazy thing I could think of and still nothing. I was using an old compaq Deskpro, Pent II. I finally tried a different keyboard(Different Brand), desperate for anything. And it worked. I must be a wierd fluke with certian keyboards. I put the Compaq keyboard on to another machine with DSL and wala it did it there too, so the problem followed the keyboard. I would be happy to ship this keyboard to someone more knowledgable than I, if they would like to try to troubleshoot the problem further and see what may be causing it. It seems like a number of people are having this issue.Also I hooked to a Winbloze XPee Machine and the keyboard worked fine there so I don't think it is just a bad keyboard. |
