           Summary: Numlock status should be preserved when X starts
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Input/Keyboard
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise@freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: rainmaker526@hotmail.com


This is a feature request:

the status of the numlock (and maybe caps and scroll) light should be preserved,
so users are able to stop using hacks such as numlockx.

When using xdm/gdm there's no way of having numlockx start automaticly after
login, except when using things like "gnome-session". When using startx, you're
able to use .xinitrc for this, but this doesn't work when using xdm.

Does it make sense to let X do this?
