Note that numlock state is different for X versus text-mode virtual
consoles (ttys). For ttys, you can turn on numlock with a script like:

EXAMPLE
       One might use setleds in /etc/rc to define the initial and default s=
tate of NumLock, e.g. by

              INITTY=3D/dev/tty[1-8]
              for tty in $INITTY; do
                     setleds -D +num < $tty
              done

(example ripped from setleds(1) man page)

For X, you can use numlockx (see http://packages.ubuntu.com/numlockx) or as
someone (Ken?) mentioned earlier in this thread, there is a facility in Gno=
me's
control panel to set the initial numlock state.
