numlock ON before logging in

[Paul Varjak]

Hello Denis.

This setting is on, but while the boot process Kubuntu sets numlock
off. So this solution doesn't work.

About buying a new KB, no way. I would like to found a OS solution.
I'm sure it must be possible. I've installed numlockx but I can't find
which is the correct script to put it on to work at boot time.

Thanks anyway.
Salva.
