Fatdog 64 6.2 How to turn the num lock on as a default

#1 Post by RickGT351 »

I have been using fatdog 64 for a while now and find it excellent. The only catch is that I want to have the num lock on by default instead of having to press the num lock button every time I boot up the computer. Is there a setting to alter to get this to happen?

I am unfamiliar with Fatdog, but since you've had no other responses, I'll make a couple of suggestions.

Official Puppies allow this to be set with the quickcountry utility. Try this command in a terminal window:

Code: Select all

quickcountry
If that yields "command not found" in Fatdog, see if it has the numlockx utility by trying this command:

Code: Select all

numlockx on
If that command turns on NumLock, you can place that command in a shell script and save it in the /root/Startup/ directory so that it will be run automatically soon after booting. (This assumes that FatDog uses the /root/Startup directory, which may or may not be a correct assumption.)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
numlockx on
(This is the same thing that official Puppies do after the Keyboard numlock box is ticked in the quickcountry window.)

numlockx is in the Fatdog64 repository. It will link to $HOME/Startup on installation.
