I wonder whether it is related to a Thinkpad-specific anomaly... when I 
plug an external keyboard into my T390E, I get all of the functionality of 
the (standard 105-key) keyboard AND the TP's keyboard still works *except 
for* the NumLock/ScrollLock key.  From reading the docs, this appears to be 
"by design".  I don't know why it should be.
