Bug 219585

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided
above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful
in our diagnosis of this issue.

Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log
file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file
attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below.

Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and
let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug
/var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

Yesterday I received what is probably a "glitch" in the system:  another email
with the same heading "Subject:	needinfo requested: [Bug 219585] numeric keypad
keys are not recognized in fc6" but which is otherwise empty.  I do not know
whether the bug was on the bugzilla side or was (more likely) the result of
something done at my isp with their mail servers.

FWIW, this problem still exists today under FC6 as of the
2.6.20-1.2962.fc6.x86_64 kernel, anyway.  As I will be converting to FC7 soon, I
will post after that if the problem appears to be fixed.

This problem still exists under F7 (new install on different MB/CPU combo).  Is
this one still active?

Thanks for the report. We are sorry that we cannot help you with your problem,
but we are not able to support binary-only drivers. If you would be able to
reproduce this issue using only open source software (in this case, nv driver
from package xorg-x11-nv), please, reopen this bug with the additional
information, but in meantime I have no choice than to close this bug as CANTFIX
(because we really cannot fix it).

If you want to reproduce the issue with open source drivers, please, see
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Xorg/3rdPartyVideoDrivers for instructions on how
to clean your system from the remnants of proprietary stuff.

For users who are experiencing problems installing, configuring, or using the
unsupported 3rd party proprietary "nvidia" video driver, Nvidia provides
indirect customer support via an online web based support forum.  Nvidia
monitors these web forums for commonly reported problems and passes them on to
Nvidia engineers for investigation.  Once they've isolated a particular problem,
it is often fixed in a future video driver update.

The NVNews Nvidia Linux driver forum is located at:

    http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14

Once you have reported this issue in the Nvidia web forums, others who may have
experienced the particular problem may be able to assist.  If there is a real
bug occuring, Nvidia will be able to determine this, and will likely resolve the
issue in a future driver update for the operating system releases that they
officially support.

While Red Hat does not support the proprietary nvidia driver, users requiring
technical support may also find the various X.Org, XFree86, and Red Hat mailing
lists helpful in finding assistance:

X.Org mailing lists:

XFree86 mailing lists:
