Can you clarify what key you mean when you talk about the Num Lock key?
There is no key marked "Num Lock" on the Macbook Pro keyboard... Are you
using F6? Did you use the Fn key in combination with F6?

Bug description:
Intrepid beta with latest updates. Santa Rosa Macbook Pro.

The Num Lock function key does not effect the output of the keyboard. xev shows that "Num_Lock" key events are coming through, but the keyboard mapping is not modified, so hitting the number area does not show any numbers just the letters.

On hardy, activating the num lock would change my keyboard to use the secondary number keys (uio, jkl, m) among other things.

This happens whether my keyboard layout is Macintosh or UK layout (my standard layout).
