  it's somewhere in the X docs, I've read it recemtly, can't remember
where exactly. The keyboard combination is: ctrl-shift-numlock (it
should beep), it's a toggle so you can switch to keyboard mouse and back
to normal mouse.

  use xev to figure out how the numeric pad works (5 - click, 0 - down,
. - release; /*- select the button for these actions, 12346789 move
pointer)
