Hello

Sorry for PM, but somehow i can´t edit the bugreport.
If I clik at "Add comment to this bug" nothing happens.

Now to your answer:
Yes numlockx works for me, too. But the problem is, somehow
it does not work the first time.

e.g. usually "numlockx on" turns the numpad on

but in my case I have to use s.th. like:

numlockx on
numlockx off
numlockx on

same with the "Num" button on the keyboard. First time when I login
I have to hit it twice.
So it´s maybe a keyboard driver relatet problem?

I´ve used kbdconfig to set the right layout (german, without deadkeys).
The keyboard is a "Cherry CyMotion Master Linux".

In xorg.conf I have:

 Driver "kbd"
        Option "CoreKeyboard"
        Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option "XkbLayout" "de"
        Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"

In the Gnome keyboard manger i have chosen this Cherry keyboard.

TIA Thilo
