oh freaking wow!!! this just got weirder!!! i haven't had the two-press thing again, but since you listed the status of the keys themselves, i decided to check just now... numlock off = numbers numlock on = cursor pad we have two different behaviors here. please double check yours just in case. i just double-checked, my keypad is operating opposite the way it should be. motherboard: intel dq45ek, most recent bios (mid august), numlock defaults to on in bios cmos setting. just in case, i double-checked, my external keypad is hooked up to the laptop, not this - no conflicts there. xorg is configured or default behavior, as is kde4. this might be a xorg or kde issue. i just checked syscons. normal behavior there. nums only when numlock is on. in kde system settings: "leave unchanged" is the enabled option. if you have kde4 installed (or any other wm) please check under x for reverse behavior.
