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?

Thanks,
Alex
