+
+== TTY (Teletype) Consoles 1-6 ==
+
+To activate NumLock during normal bootup in TTY consoles 1-6 (tty1 -> tty6), add the following line to {{ic|/etc/rc.local}}:
+ for tty in /dev/tty?; do /usr/bin/setleds -D +num < "$tty"; done
+
+If strange things start to happen (the NumLock LED is on, but the num pad still works as arrow keypad), there seems to be a conflict between {{Ic|setleds}} and Xserver.
+Limit the {{Ic|for}} command only to the consoles you have set on {{ic|/etc/inittab}}. For example, for the first 6 consoles (default) : 
+ for tty in /dev/tty{1..6}; do ...
+
+== X.org ==
+If you use {{Ic|startx}} to start your X session, simply install the {{Pkg|numlockx}} package and add it to your {{ic|~/.xinitrc}} file.
+
+Install {{Pkg|numlockx}}:
+ # pacman -S numlockx
+
+Add it to {{ic|~/.xinitrc}} before {{Ic|exec}}:
+ #!/bin/sh
+ #
+ # ~/.xinitrc
+ #
+ # Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
+ #
+ 
+ numlockx &
+ 
+ exec your_window_manager
+
+=== KDM ===
+If you use KDM as a login manager, make sure you have <tt>numlockx</tt> installed and add :
+ numlockx on
+to your {{ic|/usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup}}, or to {{ic|/opt/kde/share/config/kdm/Xsetup}} if you're using KDM3.
+
+Note that this file lives outside of Pacman's protected area, so it might be overwritten on update without warning or creating a {{ic|.pacnew}} file. If it bothers you, add the following line to your {{ic|/etc/pacman.conf}} file (omit the leading slash in the path):
+
+ NoUpgrade = usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup
+
+=== KDE4 Users ===
+
+Go to System Settings, under the Hardware/Input Devices/Keyboard item you will find an option to select the behavior of NumLock.
+
+
+====Alternate Method====
+You may alternatively add a script to your {{ic|~/.kde4/Autostart}} directory:
+ $ nano ~/.kde4/Autostart/numlockx
+Add the following: 
+ #!/bin/sh
+ numlockx on
+And make it executable:
+ $ chmod +x ~/.kde4/Autostart/numlockx
+
+===GDM===
+First make sure that you have {{Pkg|numlockx}} (from extra) installed. Then, GDM users may add the following code to {{ic|/etc/gdm/Init/Default}}:
+ if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then
+       /usr/bin/numlockx on
+ fi
+
+===SLiM===
+In the file {{ic|/etc/slim.conf}} find the line:
+ #numlock             on
+and remove the {{Ic|#}}
