Hello,

I've had a problem with my keyboard off and on under X here. It does not
happen all the time, and I've been unable to determine just what causes it
to do this, or what triggers it.

At times, my number pad on the keyboard ceases printing out numbers and
starts to move my mouse curser (very slowly) with the #5 key acting as a
highlight button on the mouse.. This is with NUMLOCK turned on. I have
found that this behaviour also happens with the NUMLOCK key off..

This is quite frustrating. I've never had this happen under X 3.3.6, and
since it doesn't happen all the time under 4.0.1, I'm at a loss. I most
definately need the number pad to speed up number entry.

My XF86Config entry for the keyboard looks like:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "keyboard"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc104"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

If anyone has seen this behaviour, could you give me a pointer on how to
fix it? Also, if you require more information; please let me know!

Thanks in advance for your time.

Regards,
Matt Heckaman
