Bug#460246: xkb-data: Cannot use numlock if placed on shifted key; invokes Pointer_EnableKeys



Package: xkb-data
Version: 1.0~cvs.20070916-1
Severity: normal

Some keyboards, such as those on many IBM ThinkPads, have the num lock
key on the shifted scroll lock key.  (Why they didn't do that the
other way around I wish I knew.)  As a result, when pressing num lock,
it always gets interpreted with the shift modifier, resulting in
Pointer_EnableKeys instead.

I can work around this with xmodmap in my ~/.xsession, but I'd really
like it to just work.
