numpad isn't doing numbers anymore [solved]

At some point my keyboard number pad stopped working correctly. It happend with the previous keyboard and I just got a new one and neither is it cooperating. The new one is a Logitech Ultra Flat USB which is identified as Novatek. KDE turns on NumLock at start as it always has. Here is an excerpt from my xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
      Identifier        "XFree86 Configured"
      Screen          "Screen0"
      InputDevice   "USB Keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
      InputDevice   "USB Mouse" "CorePointer"
  EndSection

  Section "InputDevice"
      Identifier     "USB Keyboard"
      Driver         "kbd"
      Option         "CoreKeyboard"
      Option         "XkbRules"    "xorg"
      Option         "XkbModel"    "pc105"
      Option         "XkbLayout"   "de"
      Option         "XkbVariant"  "nodeadkeys"
  EndSection

Everything else is OK - AltGr, umlauts (german layout) except for Enter the keys on the right just move the pointer around: 2 goes down, 6 goes right, 9 up and right diagonally, and anything else seems to paste from the clipboard.

I just installed KDE4 and the number pad works. It also works in the console without a desktop so it's got something to do with KDE 3.

because there are so many following this post (!) I thought I'd mention that the problem has been resolved through an update, probably xorg but I can't say for sure.
