I've got an Acer TM 240 laptop and have just installed the download version of 10.1. No installation problems but there seems to be a keymap problem in that pressing some of the letter keys displays numbers. Also I've noticed that on booting the number lock status indicator remains lit. Anybody any ideas?

many thanks,

Jules Davy

you probably have numlock turned on :). on laptop keyboards, turning numlock on usually turns the right-hand end of the keyboard into a numeric keypad. this caught me out once. If you can't turn it off, *that's* a bug :). Mandrake includes a numlock service which messes with the numlock setting on boot; if you can't get numlock to turn off, maybe you need to disable that service. Assuming you can manage it with half of your keys typing numbers :)
