Hi,

I am using ubuntu with the lubuntu desktop installed. I am trying to get the keypad to behavior properly (e.g., shift arrow remaining as shift arrow) by setting XKBOPTIONS="numpad:microsoft" in /etc/default/keyboard. However, it seems to have no effect. It is indeed being picked as seen from the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file:

[ 33.900] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Power Button" (type: KEYBOARD, id 6)
[ 33.900] (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
[ 33.900] (**) Option "xkb_model" "pc105"
[ 33.900] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us"
[ 33.900] (**) Option "xkb_options" "numpad:microsoft"

I am using 12.04 (newly upgraded). Any idea? thanks!
