What's more annoying is when you turn it on, then go to another window and that application acts as if it's off. Even if Linux paid attention to the initial setting by the BIOS, it wouldn't help (for that reason). Nearly every application you try and type in requires you to toggle the numlock two or more times to get it working again. Does anyone using that extra utility program (which wasn't mentioned in the message that I'm replying to) know whether it overcomes this particular annoyance? I'm always loathe to install things just to try out something. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
