Alternatively, check man xset. |

I was not sure if either of these just switches the LEDs on/off, or if it also |
40 |
modifies the underlying functionality. I couldn't get xset to change my |
41 |
numlock because it wouldn't recognise "Num Lock" as a name and numbers 1 to 3 |
42 |
would not have an effect on it. |
43 |
|

Anyway, the way I did it was by emerging numlockx and then creating this file: |
45 |
|
46 |
cat /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/95-numlockx |
47 |
#!/bin/sh |
48 |
numlockx on |
