This is a hack I like. Got it from the archives a while back - Create ~/.Xmodmap - ! redefines numeric keypad to be used without NumLock keycode 79 = 7 keycode 80 = 8 keycode 81 = 9 keycode 83 = 4 keycode 84 = 5 keycode 85 = 6 keycode 87 = 1 keycode 88 = 2 keycode 89 = 3 keycode 90 = 0 keycode 91 = period keycode 86 = plus ! deactivates NumLock key keycode 77 = Then in .xinitrc or .xession - exec xmodmap .Xmodmap & If you want the num lock "on" all the time this will do it for you. kent
