IBM T23: no Num-lock and Scroll-lock

[Michael Bach (gmx)]

Matthew,

I tried the /etc/X11/Xmodmap with:
keycode 237 = Num_Lock
this did not have any effect.

I don't know where the 237 comes from. I then tried :
keycode 77 = Num_Lock

which made my Num-Lock work again but left Scroll-lock unworking. I then 
added a second entry in Xmodmap which is:
keycode 78 = Scroll_Lock

However, Scroll-lock still doesn't work. Am I using the wron key-code here?

Mike
