Hi, I have been working on this problem for a while. I can't get my
number lock to default in the on position while in X. This is what I
have done:
In the /etc/init.d/rc file I placed:
-----------------------
# I add the following for NumLock ON by default
INITTY=/dev/tty[1-8]
for tty in $INITTY; do
setleds -D +num < $tty
done
-----------------------
This activates my num lock on all terminals (tty1 through tty6) but not
my X terminal tty7.
I tried adding the line setleds -D +num$ to
/home/kent/.bash_profile like so:
-------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash(1) for login shells.
umask 002
setleds -D +num$
----------------------------
crossyourfingers:/home/kent# ls -l /home/kent/.bash_profile
-rwxr--r-- 1 kent kent 113 Jan 16 14:34
/home/kent/.bash_profile
This creates the following error I don't understand, at the top of my
xterm windows, when I open them:
KDGETLED: Invalid argument
Error reading current led setting. Maybe stdin is not a VT?
~$
I have also changed the line to read setleds -D +num and recieved
the same error message. I have also tried both lines in the
/etc/csh.login file. I get the same error message.
I am using xdm and afterstep if that makes any difference. Once again I
need some help.
Thanks,
Kent
