sorry for the confusing summery but I diden't find an easy way to explain this bug in just a few words. Here is a full explanation: I have numlockx to start when starting gdm, and I have /etc/init.d/numlock to my boot runlevel (I don't think this have anything with this bug to do) when X is started I can change to a VT with ctrl+alt+Fn (no problem there) when I then change back to X with ctrl+alt+F7 the numlock indekator is turned off. (NOTE: just the indekator I can still write numbers juing the numpad) To make the indekator turned on again I have to press the numlock key twice (one to shut off numlock and one to turn it on again). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start X 2. make sure numlock is turned on 3. switch to VT using ctrl+alt+Fn 4. switch back to X using ctrl+alt+F7 Actual Results: the numlock indekator is turned off Expected Results: the numlock indekator shuld stay on (or turn on if you don't have numlock in your VT) # X -version This is a pre-release version of the The X.Org Foundation X11.
