The keycode is 91 so I created .Xmodmap in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/ and it contains "keycode 91 = comma". If I understood /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc right, it looks if .Xmodmap exists, if so, it sets this as the system wide Xmodmap. But I can't make it work. I always have a full-stop (.) when hitting the comma key on my key pad. > > Any help would be appreciated, > > Jan Lentfer > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > >> end of "XFree86, german keyboard: make the comma key actually print a comma.
