Thinkpad numeric keypad doesn't do numbers

No, although quite similar numbers are. Mine is a Thinkpad R50e.

OK.  

     Numlock works as expected in console mode, but in X it
     causes the keypad keys to be inoperative.  A workaround is to
     boot with an external keyboard and use the numlock key on that
     (which causes both the external keyboard and the laptop keyboard
     to be numlocked).

Information which is more useful to debuggers than to users:

            If numlock is pressed with caps lock, the numlock keys
            emit numbers when shifted.

All of this in in breezy.  

Let me know if you need more information, or have a fix that needs
testing.
