After I updated to FC4 the number pad part of my keyboard isn't working. I have plugged this keyboard into a winxp machine and it works fine. I am assuming that there is a problem somewhere with keyboard set up, perhaps xorg.conf? Anyone have any idea's?
lerum
Please tell me this.

1. Is Num Lock On?
2. What keyboard layout do you have?
Oroshi
or make sure you select the right type of keyboard from installation??
znx

here is my entire xorg.conf. No matter what I try when I restart X it stops and say that I have the wrong keyboard spec. It alway rewrites it and restarts X. I need a numpad. Again, this all orked fine in FC3.

Section "Files"
# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

Section "InputDevice"
# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
