Greetings;
I just noticed today that my numeric keypad doesn't work under Gnome, but
works fine in a console session. (Ctl-Alt-F1) I've tried changing the
keyboard brands and models but nothing makes any difference. Still doesn't
work, regardless of NumLock setting. And the LED does turn on and off with
the NumLock.
Anybody have the solution for this problem?
TIA!
Dennis
Is the keyboard model correctly set under Gnome's Keyboard Preferences
control panel? How about in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? Are either of those
set to a keyboard type that doesn't have a numpad?
Just a shot in the dark, but can't hurt to check.
Good question! In 30 years I don't remember ever having a
kbd that didn't have a numeric keypad, or one where the
keypad didn't work. That is why I first thought that my
keyboard wasn't working. Until I discovered that it worked
in the console sessions but not in gnome.
Does anybody have a numeric keypad that works? What is your
keyboard mfg and model set to? Mine is Generic 101 key PC.
Thanks,
Dennis
