Description rty687d 2011-01-08 10:44:25 UTC
Hi,

I encountered a problem with the numlockx package. 
According to the developper of this package, it is presumably an X.Org problem.

I had a keyboard problem on a laptop (with a french keyboard "azerty").
By pressing on several keys, it wasn't the good key that was printed on screen by the system.

After a long time, I understood that the "Fn" key (instead of the "Num" key) was locked.
It was because, unconsciously, I had installed the numlockx package.

In addition, it was a random problem because I didn't encountered this keyboard problem each time I started the laptop.

The developper of this package answered me :

NumLockX asks for the NumLock key status to be toggled, so if some other
status changes, it is presumably X.Org problem and I cannot really do much
about it.

Thank you in advance.

Regards.
