Thanks for the tip, but I didn't try that.  I was in a bit of hurry, and seeing the NumLock not working as expected was a sign that something else might be wrong with the patched keyboard firmware, so I rushed to write back the unpatched version.

However, I really don't understand what was the reason behind changing the behavior of the NumLock in the patched version?  There should be a readily available patched version of the keyboard firmware that behaves in the usual, "stock" way, containing just the bugfixes.  In other words, I'm perfectly fine with anybody having their personal preferences when it comes to the keyboards layouts, but I don't like being forced to use any of those alternative layouts.

I know, there are some instructions on how to remap the keys or alter the behavior of the patched keyboard firmware, but doing that takes time, while the "stock-like" variant of the patched keyboard firmware isn't readily available.
