After assembling a new computer, I installed Fedora Core 5 with the usual stuff including Gnome. This computer consists of Tyan S2865ANRF main board, AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Dual-Core processor, 2 GB RAM, PNY Quadro FX 1500 256 MB graphics card, Acer AL2423WR 24" WUXGA 1920 x 1200 DVI LCD, and an old (5 pound) Compaq keyboard (the best keyboard I've had). Gnome started up first try, as usual, for user "bob". It was running at 1280x1024 as installed, and I set up some favorite things, then went to System - Preferences - Screen Resolution. The monitor model was not available, but 1920x1200 was. I chose that and it worked; no problem. The most useless key on the PC keyboard is "Num Lock". The PC keyboard has cursor keys. The number pad should always be active. I've used calculators and other number machines all my life. At the risk of being redundant, the number pad should always be active. I used "yum -y install numlockx". Gnome will not work for the user anymore. It works fine for root. Obviously, a permissions problem. It's hard to see how NomlockX could cause this, but I have nothing else to go on. I could reinstall Gnome, but that's giving up. Anyone have any ideas?
