[Bug 946860] [NEW] Num Lock is off during login even when it is set "on" in BIOS

[Jayson Gundy]

Public bug reported:

Num Lock is off when at the login screen. My BIOS is set to have Num
Lock on for default, yet when I get to the login screen it is off. If I
turn it on, log in, log out, and try to log on again, it is again in the
off position.

To reproduce boot machine. When at login screen, attempt to use number
pad, note it does not work until num lock is turned on again at every
login.
