Hi!

I have two questions which should be straightforward to answer but I
couldn't find them in the mailing lists, etc.

Firstly, when using some applications, particularly vi, in an xterm under
X the numeric keypad produces garbage like 
y 
x 
w 
v 
u 
this when I try to use it to get numbers.  I have

# Let the server do the NumLock processing.  This should only be required
# when using pre-R6 clients
    ServerNumLock

in XF86Config.  (This is necessary to make other applications work
properly.)  

Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Secondly, kernel messages go to the console.  Is there any way of
redirecting the console to, say, /dev/ttyv2 so that when I log in on ttyv0
I don't get lots of messages appearing on the screen?

Thanks,

Ben.
