this seems to have changed nothing.
i already had caps-lock and control mapped to control, using /etc/XF86Config
Section "Keyboard"
Protocol "Standard"
AutoRepeat 500 30
LeftAlt Meta
RightAlt Meta
ScrollLock Compose
RightCtl Control
XkbKeycodes "xfree86"
XkbTypes "default"
XkbCompat "default"
XkbSymbols "us(pc101)"
XkbGeometry "pc"
XkbRules "xfree86"
XkbModel "pc104"
XkbLayout "us"
XkbOptions "ctrl:nocaps"
EndSection
what's funny is that my desktop with a 104 key keyboard has
ALT == meta for tvtwm control
flag == meta in emacs and xterm
my sony laptop with 101 keyboard has
ALT == meta for tvtwm, emacs, and xterm
what i want is
(ALT|flag) == meta in tvtwm, emacs, and xterm
and i am beginning to feel pretty stoopid.
