>Description:
	When switching from a text virtual console to one XFree86 is
	displaying on, the Num Lock light reflects the value of Num Lock
	in that console rather than the value in X.  Toggling Num Lock
	within X updates the light properly.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Start XFree86.
	Set Num Lock to your favorite value.
	Switch to a text-mode console with Ctrl-Alt-Fn.
	Set Num Lock to the opposite value.
	Switch to the console X is displaying on with Ctrl-Alt-Fn.
>Fix:
	Hit Num Lock twice after switching to X.

State-Changed-Why:  
This PR is not related to the package system. X11 is not (yet?) a package 
and the problem is related to i386's PCVT console. After talking about this 
PR with Frank van der Linden I change the category to port-i386.

 I don't know; I no longer have console access to any NetBSD machines.
 However, this bug should be very easy to reproduce if it still exists:
 just set num lock to ON on a virtual console in text mode and to OFF
 on a virtual console running X on the same machine, and see what
 happens when you switch between the two.  If the status light changes
 properly, you can feel free to close this report.
