Bug Description

Numeric keyboard with Fn key fail: Instead of numbers I get scrolling functions (insert, home, end....). But with NumBlock it works as expected. Decimal and operations always work fine.

Spain/Spanish keyboard.

According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HotkeyResearch:

Manufacurer: Hewlett-Packard
Product name: HP Compaq nx6110 (PY500ET#ABE)
Version: F.0B

Using xev for hotkey.

WITHOUT NUMBLOCK
0. Number 0 expected with Fn+M, got nothing, Keycode 90 KP_Insert. Fn+Cap+M does 'Paste' in Kubuntu, but correctly types number 0 in Ubuntu. Insert key itself is not working in Kubuntu.
1. Number 1 expected with Fn+J, got 'End', Keycode 87 KP_End. Fn+Cap+J correctly types number 1.
2. Number 2 expected with Fn+K, got 'Down', Keycode 88 KP_Down. Fn+Cap+K correctly types number 2.
3. Number 3 expected with Fn+L, got 'Next', Keycode 89 KP_Next. Fn+Cap+L correctly types number 3.
4. Number 4 expected with Fn+U got 'Left', Keycode 83 KP_Left. Fn+Cap+U correctly types number 4.
5. Number 5 expected with Fn+I, got nothing, Keycode 84 KP_Begin. Fn+Cap+I correctly types number 5.
6. Number 6 expected with Fn+O, got 'Next', Keycode 85 KP_Right. Fn+Cap+O correctly types number 6.
7. Number 7 expected with Fn+7, got 'Next', Keycode 79 KP_Home. Fn+Cap+7 correctly types number 7.
8. Number 8 expected with Fn+8, got 'Next', Keycode 80 KP_Up. Fn+Cap+8 correctly types number 8.
9. Number 9 expected with Fn+9, got 'Next', Keycode 81 KP_Prior. Fn+Cap+9 correctly types number 9.

WITH NUMBLOCK
Combinations of keys with Fn and Cap works as expected. Keycodes:
key m. 90 KP_0, number 0 as expected.
key j. 87 KP_1, number 1 as expected.
key k. 88 KP_2, number 2 as expected.
key l. 89 KP_3, number 3 as expected.
key u. 83 KP_4, number 4 as expected.
key i. 84 KP_5, number 5 as expected.
key o. 85 KP_6, number 6 as expected.
key 7. 79 KP_7, number 7 as expected.
key 8. 80 KP_8, number 8 as expected.
key 9. 81 KP_9, number 9 as expected.

key Fn+m. 58 m, letter m as expected.
key Fn+j. 44 j, letter j as expected.
key Fn+k. 45 k, letter k as expected.
key Fn+l. 46 i, letter l as expected.
key Fn+u. 30 u, letter u as expected.
key Fn+i. 31 i, letter i as expected.
key Fn+o. 32 o, letter o as expected.
key Fn+7. 16 7, number 7 as expected.
key Fn+8. 17 8, number 8 as expected.
key Fn+9. 19 9, number 9 as expected.

Thank you for submitting this bug report.

I believe the the lack of numbers when pressed with the num lock off is suppose to have functions such as insert, end and so forth. If you look at a normal 104 keyboard those functions are to be expected with the numlock off. I tested this on my Dell Inspiron 1420 and it functions just like your keyboard. I went ahead and labeled this bug as invalid, if you still believe that it is a valid bug then please reopen it.

I have also let the evdev team know about this bug in case I am wrong.
