Push NumLock, then uiop = 456* jkl; = 123- etcetera.   Thinkpads use a 
weird keycode for NumLock though, so you might want to try doing 
"xmodmap -e 'keycode 77 = Num_Lock' " before pushing NumLock.

If you want to change resolutions in X, "xvidtune -next" is more 
reliable on machines with weird/broken numeric keypads.  I have 
Shift-F7 bound to that xvidtune command (using xbindkeys) because the 
only thing I'd ever use NumLock for on my A22p is to change resolutions 
in X.  HTH,
