Well, in case this happens to anyone else, let me share what it was...Apparently there is a feature in Accessibility under "Mouse & Trackpad" called "Mouse Keys" This effectively turns your numeric keypad into a virtual trackpad. I don't know how, but somehow I accidentally enabled this and that was my whole problem.
Well I tried both of those methods and no change, they numeric pad does not work. One thing I have noticed though is the numeric keypad IS working before I login. Once I login it stops working.
In my BIOS yes. Does it need to be enabled somewhere in a config file? Using the NumLock key itself makes no change. The keys around the numeric pad (/ * - + and Enter) all work, but the numbers themselves do not.
I am using the version from this link the trackpad itself is working great, but my numeric keypad has stopped working. I am using a Dell E6520. Can anyone possibly help out?
