Debian, what to do if the numerical keypad does not work?

In Debian, what do you do if the numerical keypad does not work? In fact it's a very common problem! To solve it, you just need to know this killer tip: try pressing shift + numlock instead of just numlock.

It works in most cases. Otherwise, your keyboard might be miss-configured and you should have a look to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf .

I hope it helps...
