Dave, can you put this into the FAQ?

This is my rank #2 of the FPA's of the week (FPA == Frequently
Provided Answer; rank #1 is ``Read the hardware.guide'' :)

Turn off NumLock.  If your broken X clients (xterm, xman etc.) are
bothering you too much, enter the ``ServerNumLock'' kludge again into
your XF86Config file until all the clients are fixed.

And: please, do read this group entirely before asking.  It has been
dicussed to death.
