Numpad problems in V4 with Linux

When I go into the key options and set some keys to numpad, it always treats (and whether or not the numlock status is on or off) the numpad keys as numbers (or at least it maps it as that). In other programs, like it should, it's functioning as arrows when numlock is off. Setting the keys to the regular arrow keys doesn't make the numpad work either.

Example: I press numpad 8 with numlock off in an attempt to get the up arrow, but it comes up as 8. When I try to press that in-game, it just ignores the key altogether. However, if I press the 8 key on the number row (left of backspace), it works. It seems to be mapping the numpad to the number row.

I'm using KDE in Mandrake 2006 (using others like Gnome doesn't fix it either). When I try the same thing on Windows, everything works right with the numpad; doubt it's a keyboard problem. Given, I have yet to test some other keyboards, though I can if confirmation is needed.
