Alternatively, check man xset. I was not sure if either of these just switches the LEDs on/off, or if it also modifies the underlying functionality. I couldn't get xset to change my numlock because it wouldn't recognise "Num Lock" as a name and numbers 1 to 3 would not have an effect on it. Anyway, the way I did it was by emerging numlockx and then creating this file: cat /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/95-numlockx #!/bin/sh numlockx on -- Regards, Mick
