http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3022/numeric-key-pad-on-104-key-keyboard-stopped-working<p>my computer: dell latitude d820 laptop on a docking station with an external monitor and keyboard; os=Linux version 2.6.34.9-69.fc13.i686.PAE; keybd: 104 key with numeric key pad; my question/problem: for months i had to hit the combination of "windows logo key" and f8 on the laptop in order to get an image on the external monitor. this was an inconvenience since i had to stand up twice: once to turn on the laptop and a 2nd time to switch the image to my external monitor. then suddenly a few weeks ago i no longer had to hit the "windows logo key" &amp; f8 keys - the image automatically showed on the external monitor. the down side is that the numeric key pad stopped working. everything else on the keyboard works normally. i don't know what i did to cause this. i'd like to get the numeric key pad back. please help!!!</p>enTue, 25 Nov 2014 01:23:35 -0500http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3022/numeric-key-pad-on-104-key-keyboard-stopped-working/3467<p>maybe is the keyboard drivers problem, you can reinstall the drivers again. <a href="http://www.dell-driver.com/drivers-download/dell-latitude-d820-drivers-download">download Dell Latitude D820 Drivers</a> and you can find the keyboard drivers.</p>jerfrankTue, 25 Nov 2014 01:23:35 -0500http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3022/numeric-key-pad-on-104-key-keyboard-stopped-working/3467http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3022/numeric-key-pad-on-104-key-keyboard-stopped-working/3032<p>I have a few questions:</p> <p>Have you tried disconnecting everything (laptop from docking station, keyboard from docking station) and reconnecting, and then, of course, rebooting?</p> <p>Have you tried another keyboard that you know works with another computer?</p> <p>Have you tried your keyboard on another computer?</p> <p>To get your display working, did you hit the &lt;windows key=""&gt; + &lt;f8&gt; on the laptop or the keyboard attached to the docking station?</p>bogoneticFri, 01 Mar 2013 01:15:12 -0500http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3022/numeric-key-pad-on-104-key-keyboard-stopped-working/3032
