Hi, does anyone know how I can start linux with Num Lock ON?
iam using linux mandrake 7.2 with KDE 2.0

I have already checked the Start Num Lock ON during the setup but it doesn't
work.

Thanks for reading this

Hi Ian;

You've tried setting this in the BIOS? I think that if you hit the
delete key during the boot sequence you'll be able to control this from
one of your ROM BIOS setup screens - I don't know about controlling this
from within Mandrake (if that's what you're trying to do)

Also make sure that you choose *Save setings on exit* when you're
finished - just exiting setup won't quite do it.

All the best,
Rob Weaver

You would typically do this with the xset program

For the Caps-Lock
xset led 3

This requires that the line below is uncommented in your XF86Config file
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
