Just to close this one myself, I found that if I turn on the numlock on the standard keyboard and left it on when I disconnect the keyboard, the numlock keypad is active on the laptop keyboard. That's what was causing my issue. :-) Sometimes the obvious isn't so obvious...at least for me. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
