![]() For some reason, the console is a separate environment from the X server (running KDM) which is a separate environment from KDE, and each one has an individual numlock state. ![]() However, it doesn't work for all situations. I use KDE, and there is a setting in KDE that lets you turn the numlock on when you login. Windows understands this, so why doesn't linux? Well, maybe people without numeric keypads where the numlock steals part of their keyboard, but for the majority of people who have a standard ANSI 104 key keyboard, I would think you'd want the numlock on by default. Every minor change of environment resets the numlock back to off, which I can't really imagine anyone actually wanting. I find it very annoying that linux seems to have no uniform way to just turn the numlock on when the system comes on and leave it that way.
