Numeric keypad ?
« on: November 09, 2010, 07:55:58 PM »
How do I get the numeric keypad to work?  I have implemented this:

Code: [Select]
sleep 3 && xmodmap -e "clear Mod4" -e "add Mod5 = Mode_switch" &
right after 'waitforX' in the .xsession, as the FAQ seems to recommend, but it didn't work.  I get arrow keys, / and a bit more, but no numlock, no numbers.

J.E.B.

Requires Xvesa.tcz or Xorg*.tcz (not sure about Xfbdev)

That line isn't related to the numpad, it's usually to enable alt-gr keys.

IIRC numpad does work fine in Xvesa, it's just the light that doesn't come up.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
