I remember this same discussion about BIOS and numlock and something 
about the kernel from years ago.  It may be worth searching the archives 
on this one.  It may be searchable in the RedHat archives.

Now, I find that turning it on takes all of about 1 ms but it would be 
nice if it did recognize the bios setting.

May be worth posting the question to the development people or RFE again.
