ServerNumLock is considered a big hack. Turn off your NumLock key, or fix the broken X clients (and file your fixes back to the XConsortium :). This is a well-known X11 bug. Other architectures (e.g. SGI IRIX) do also suffer from it, but it's particularly apparent in FreeBSD since the X server inherits the NumLock setting from the console driver, and the latter defaults to `on' in most cases. XFree 3.1.2 is said to work around this by turning it off initially in the X server. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
