Emulate numpad

I have not found the solution to this in the “solutions to common problems”. sorry if it was somewhere else.

The “emulate numpad” function does not work for me: numeric buttons does nothing (no layer change no view change)
blender 2.41
linux: fedora 4
laptop: thinkpad T42

I guess the problem is with my system and not blender but someone should have had the same problem

Thank guys!

ok linux build of blender doesn’t like azerty keyboard…

In case you never thought about it… Thinkpad T series external numeric keypad…
