Hello,
I bought a Mistel MD200 Freeboard (a numpad) and I notice the numpad state is being set to true/on after I turned numlock off and hit a random key on any keyboard (I’ve got my laptop keyboard which triggers the numlock state to on on any key press and the same counts for my external keyboard (Mistel Barocco MD770).
I’ve set numlock in the bios to OFF and the sddm config is also set to false/off and this works, till I login and I can’t figure out what is triggering the numlock state to true/on. I tested the numpad on a windows machine and it just worked like it should be. So it’s probably a garuda thing I guess. Is there a way garuda handles the numlock state?
I tried to listen to libinput but I couldn’t figure out, maybe I didn’t do it correctly idk.
One thing I also noticed: I have to push numlock twice to get it turn off after the numlock state turned on by hitting any key (not the numlock on the numpad, I can turn it on/off with one keypress on the numlock key of the numpad. When hitting any other key on the other keyboards numlock will be on (twice).
Here is my Garuda inxi:
