num lock on boot up
 

I have Zenwalk 2.6 installed on my dell inspirion laptop. When I boot up and presented with a login screen my num lock is on and causes certain keys to put numbers in. How can I make it so num lock won't be on upon boot up.

that can sometimes be dealt with in the bios

The keyboardconfig tool has been improved, now you can setup this parameter, please update the following packages : xdialog, systemtools

Will do when I get home. Curretnly at work.

Worked just fine. Ran keyboardconfig and found at the left bottom a checkbox that said numlock. unchecked it and rebooted. Once I rebooted numlock was off. Thanks for the assistance.

I just installed Zenwalk 2.8 lastnight on my laptop. I like the fact that the creators now placed an option during install of whether you want the numlock on during boot or not.
