I have not messed with any of the above, but I did install the
numlock rpm, and enabled the numlock service.

Have you tried the BIOS settings??
Bit Twister's suggestions sound good. I have
one older desktop replacement where the numlock is not
working and I wish I had read what he said before I
shut it down for the night.
Cool running.

Didn't know there was one in the Bios. Them number lock comes on during
bios but goes off after the kernel gets running

It sounds like a paper chase, Bits. I have three settings that don't
work and numlock is a SERVICE!!??

I may have to give them a try. Thanks Bits

I have seen it in a few computers.

Yeah, seen that also.

I also found a
numlock on
in my .bashrc file.

And speaking of x I use xterm as my terminal emulator.

OK Numlock is a bios setting and it is on

So number lock requires at least four individual settings and it doesn't
work.

The title of the setting is "numlock." There is usually a command
"numlock on" as Bits found. I would try adding it to .bashrc or
somewhere in the X11 config file. We always talk of X as the video
system, but the config file covers other things, such as keyboard, as well.

On my system, I couldn't find the numlock setting anywhere, yet it was
set. It was in the Gigabyte BIOS, under "System," near the top. The
setting is a toggle.
