That is what I thought, but so far it has never worked for me.
Fedora follows the legacy of all RedHat versions I have tried and it
does not honor the bios setting for the numlock key.  I live with it but
would rather have it set according to the bios.

If you can tell me of any other key settings that are in the bios of
most computers I would love to know what ones they are.  The bios on all
boards I have ever used only has the numlock key setting.
