But I've two problems. 1/ I can no longer use the numeric key pad. Nothing happens if I use these keys, regardless or weather num lock is on or not. It used to worked on 7.10. Got any ideas as what I can check or change.
When I upgraded one machine (at an early beta stage), the keypad got switched into a mode where it mimics the mouse. If that's happened to you:
System -> Preferences -> Keyboard, on the Mouse Keys tab, turn off the checkbox "Allow to control the pointer using the keyboard"
No idea why it happened, until now I'd only seen it on my PC (and I have no idea if this is your problem or not).
NB: I reported the wording of that dialogue as a bug, its a bit confusing.
