So if your "rc-update -s -v | grep > numlock" shows numlock but no runlevel, The numlock "service" is not enabled for any runlevel. > you can determine from the aforementioned file how it got turned on. Can you explain a bit? I've looked at that file, and I still don't see how it's getting turned on. I can ssh into the machine and use "setleds" to turn it off to get the keyboard back into a usable state. I suppose I could create an "unnumlock" rc script and enable that for all runlevels. But I'd much rather the keyboard's default state was usable... I've grep'ed the 3.5.7 kernel .config file for numlock, numeric, keypad, and a half-dozen other similar strings, and have found nothing. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
