Numlockx: Enabling the numeric keypad at boot

Introduction

The numeric keypad is not necessarily activated at boot time, which can quickly become annoying. Here's a method to enable it automatically on Gnome.

1	`apt-get install numlockx`

We'll use numlockx with GDM. Insert this line into /etc/gdm/Init/Default:

test -x /usr/bin/numlockx && /usr/bin/numlockx on

Now you just need to restart your GDM and it works! :-)
