Well, and then run 'xmodmap .xmodmap', right? It would be the same (for my 104-key AT keyboard) as to issue the command xmodmap -e "keycode 113 = Hyper" and I again have xmodmap: commandline:0: bad keysym name 'Hyper' in keysym list xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting. As I understand I cannot assign arbitrary keysym to the given key, right?
