REOPENED (In reply to comment #0) > > Why "numlock" package is not install per default ? > numlock is installed by default on desktop system, but not on laptop (as most of laptop don't have numpad). we have two ways of improvement here: 1) detection of numpad by the installer, and install of numlock if there is a numpad, 2) always install numlock, and enable or disable numlock at runtime (usefull for laptop used with docking station). Priority:
Normal =>
Low okay, in my alienware m17x, the keybad is here and not detected. what happens if the install is forced?, if nothing, the better is forced that...as there are not problem detection... thank you

detect (some) numpads
The following patch should enable to detect (at least some (eg: Compaq USB numpad): perl -I /usr/lib/libDrakX/ -Mdetect_devices -MData::Dumper -e 'warn Dumper detect_devices::hasNumpad()'
ccing blino in case he has ever seen other numpads... Keywords:

PATCH (In reply to comment #8) > Created attachment 701 [details] > detect (some) numpads > probably a bad copy/paste in rpmsrate-raw, I think it should be 5 TYPE"numpad" numlock instead of "touchpad"; most of laptop have a touchpad but no numpad, only 17' and now some 15' have a numpad. (In reply to comment #5) > How can we detect numpads? I have no idea for now!! and you seem to have better ideas than me!! Thanks regards, Luc Indeed for the typo. For the rest, just answer to comment #6 & #7 ... Just fixed in SVN (for Mageia 2), at least for Compaq USB numpad. Still waiting for data from reporter (In reply to comment #12) > Just fixed in SVN (for Mageia 2), at least for Compaq USB numpad. > Still waiting for data from reporter @ Thierry You started waiting over three months ago.

drakx-kbd-mouse-x11 Btw, do you have a "Fn" key on your laptop? hi, yes i have "Fn" key too : my computer screen : http://www.laptopspirit.fr/wp-content/uploads/new/acer-aspire-5732z-444g50mn9.jpg http://www.notik.ru/img/catalog_img/7887/big/3_AcerAspire5732Z434G25Mi.jpg Only solution that came to me would be to whitelist some laptops. Could you attach the output of dmidecode too? hum what ? lol i research and found that : http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/how-to-get-hardware-information-on-linux-using-dmidecode-command/ it is that ? # dmidecode 2.11 SMBIOS 2.4 present.

(none) Thierry, is_Laptop() should not see this as a laptop as we can see "battery" in the dmidecode? I'm wondering... CC:
(none) =>
mageia This _IS_ a laptop so there's no reason to look at the battery block. Anyway this is irrelevant: we do detect the type of this computer. The issue is that we have no way to detect whether it has a numpad or not. Hi, This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment. Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2. Thanks :) Cheers, marja Keywords:
