see the numlock section on this page: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_get_special_keys_to_work NumLock On the ThinkPad X21, T20, T21, T30, X31, T43, R51 and possibly other models, X does not recognize the keycode for NumLk = Shift+ScrLk. To fix this, add the following to ~/.Xmodmap in your home directory or /etc/X11/Xmodmap and run xmodmap, ex: xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap: keycode 77 = Num_Lock Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future. Is this still a problem? I'm also having problems with numlock, but they are a bit different: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/182421 |

I have an IBM ThinkPad running Linux 2.6.18. To switch the NumLock state on the internal keyboard, I have to press the Shift + ScrollLock keys. On the console, this works fine, but in X I get the following events from xev: ---SNIP--- KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x1400001, root 0x4c, subw 0x1400002, time 3749488372, (56,62), root:(960,578), state 0x0, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x1400001, root 0x4c, subw 0x1400002, time 3749488919, (56,62), root:(960,578), state 0x1, keycode 77 (keysym 0xfef9, Pointer_EnableKeys), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x1400001, root 0x4c, subw 0x1400002, time 3749489054, (56,62), root:(960,578), state 0x1, keycode 77 (keysym 0xfef9, Pointer_EnableKeys), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x1400001, root 0x4c, subw 0x1400002, time 3749489430, (56,62), root:(960,578), state 0x1, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: ---SNIP--- That results in neither the internal keypad (alternate Symbols on some keys) nor my USB keyboard's keypad generating any more keypad events, but mouse events instead. Is there a way to make this key combination work as it does on the console? I am using the xf86-input-evdev driver version 1.1.2 (Debian version 1.1.2-2) with the following xorg.conf directives: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Thinkpad Keyboard" Driver "evdev" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "Name" "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "evdev" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "USB Keyboard" Driver "evdev" Option "SendCoreEvents" "on" Option "Name" "HID 046a:0001" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "evdev" Option "XkbLayout" "us" # Option "XkbVariant" "basic" EndSection Thanks!
