--- Comment #38 from Robert Mason nullpost-redhat@yahoo.co.uk --- I've just gone from CentOS 6 (where numlock worked fine) to a new install of Fedora 21. The numlock behaviour is very odd.

It is set to be on in the BIOS, and indeed, numlock is on after switching the computer on, but it turns off at some point while Fedora is booting up.

What's even stranger is it turns off while the computer is on. At first I thought it was just when the lock screen comes on that it forgets the numlock state, but I have just turned numlock on three times, and each time it went off again after a few minutes while I was in front of the computer.

I've also noticed that sometimes numlock IS on, but the light on the keyboard is off. So I can use the numpad, even though it says numlock is off. When this happens, the numlock key has to be pressed twice to get numlock AND the light on.

I think the default behaviour should be to follow the BIOS setting.
