Any idea how to address this? A good tool for diagnostics always is the xev program. See if something like KeyPress event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001, root 0x73, subw 0x0, time 1034406899, (-570,493), root:(12,632), state 0x10, keycode 77 (keysym 0xff7f, Num_Lock), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001, root 0x73, subw 0x0, time 1034406949, (-570,493), root:(12,632), state 0x10, keycode 77 (keysym 0xff7f, Num_Lock), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False comes out when pressing the Num key. You can always remap the Num Lock functionality onto another key that doesn't fail after the 4th use - see xmodmap. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
