Weird Startx Issue on FreeBSD 8.0
I was trying to install FreeBSD on my IBM ThinkPad T40 last night and I had finished pulling all the Xorg and Fluxbox stuff after a looonng while .. so I added a shortcut to the xinitrc to start everything up .. and the funny thing was, the numlock key kept turning on by itself ..
Of course, since this is a laptop, turning on the NumLock keys means that some of the important keys cannot be used .. and I can't turn the numlock off !!
So, did a little searching and found a utility called numlockx to turn off the numlock (yes, a utility to turn off the numlock .. go figure). Anyway, if anyone is having the same issue .. here's what you do
In your ~/.xinitrc file
numlockx off
exec /usr/local/bin/fluxbox
Numlockx can be found in the ports under /usr/ports/X11.
