tiny ukbd num lock issue

[Jim Bryant]

oh freaking wow!!!

this just got weirder!!!

i haven't had the two-press thing again, but since you listed the status 
of the keys themselves, i decided to check just now...

numlock off = numbers
numlock on = cursor pad

we have two different behaviors here.  please double check yours just in 
case.  i just double-checked, my keypad is operating opposite the way it 
should be.

motherboard: intel dq45ek, most recent bios (mid august), numlock 
defaults to on in bios cmos setting.

just in case, i double-checked, my external keypad is hooked up to the 
laptop, not this - no conflicts there.

xorg is configured or default behavior, as is kde4.

this might be a xorg or kde issue.  i just checked syscons.  normal 
behavior there.  nums only when numlock is on.

in kde system settings: "leave unchanged" is the enabled option.

if you have kde4 installed (or any other wm) please check under x for 
reverse behavior.
