Hi Stephan,

I had a similar problem. Do you have installed a software called 'tleds'
by any chance? That could cause problems. Also, at least for the NumLock
key, the only way it works for me is if I create a .Xmodmap file in my
home directory and add:

keycode 77 = Num_Lock

I've seen other weirdness with leds, like for example the wireless led
no longer works in my t42p, but I haven't been able to track that down.

Hope this helps.
Carlos
