I know I have used xmodmap(1) in the past and it served me well. I now have a Dell keyboard on a Dell system and I can't get the caps lock key swapped with the left control key. Here is what I have now (yes, both -- belt and suspenders...): unix% head -6 $HOME/.xmodmaprc remove Lock = Caps_Lock remove Control = Control_L keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L add Lock = Caps_Lock add Control = Control_L unix% grep modmap .xinitrc /usr/local/bin/xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmaprc unix% grep swap /etc/X11/xorg.conf Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps" unix% pkg info | grep xorg-server xorg-server-1.14.7_2,1 X.Org X server and related programs I have rebooted the system as well as restarting Xorg to make sure everything was running from a fresh beginning. One of the above should have worked, but in my xterm window(s) the caps lock is still CAPS LOCK, sigh... Can anyone provide a clue?
