Actually, the instructions were mine, not Harold's (they were in response to
a note from Harold).
Try this...
Start X without the NumLock modification. In an xterm, run "xmodmap -pm".
You should see something that resembles the following:
xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x71)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4
mod5 Scroll_Lock (0x4e)
If "Num_Lock" shows up next to something other than mod2, then you'll need
to change what comes after "clear" when you run xmodmap.
Alternatively, you might experiment with the following scriptlet which tries
to figure out which mod key is assigned to NumLock...
numlock=`xmodmap -pm | grep -i num_lock | awk '{print $1}'`
if [ "$numlock" != "" ]
then
xmodmap -e "clear $numlock" ${HOME}/.Xmodmap
fi
Of course, if your NumLock key was already assigned to mod2, then I'm not
sure what's going on. You might want to experiment with running xev. If
you've cleared NumLock from the keymap, then the value of "state" inside a
KeyPress/Release event resulting from pressing a key on the numeric keypad
should be 0x0 regardless of whether NumLock is on or off.

Is there a way to run XFree with the numlock key on without stopping the
keys from working? I followed the instructions from Harold's post at:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-06/msg00307.html
but that solution didn't seem to work for me.
Thanks,
JS.
