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.
You could try installing numlockx
$ sudo aptitude install numlockx
Also try checking your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Mine has this in it:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "gb" # is this right? Option "XkbVariant" "gb" Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:super_win" EndSection
though yours may not necessarily work with these options.
And have you checked to make sure it's not a desktop environment thing? Are you using GNOME? Have you checked in a console? Or with a different window manager?
