[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi! My .xinitrc has an xmodmap tweak to switch the Ctrl and Caps keys. For some reason these changes are not applied when I start X, Ctrl is still Ctrl and Caps is still Caps. However I have to run xmodmap twice when X has started to actually make it work. It seems like the changes were applied but somehow not used by X, when I rerun xmodmap it seems like it switches the keys back to their original states and when I then run it again it finally works. Here's my .xinitrc: ------------------------ # X tweaks xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr xset -b numlockx on xmodmap ~/.xmodmap # Desktop environment feh --bg-center ~/.themes/FreeBSD.jpg mydzen & xmonad & # Wait wait $! pkill dzen2 wait ------------------------ and here's my .xmodmap: ------------------------ 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 ------------------------ uname -a: FreeBSD nirvana.my.domain 7.0-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-PRERELEASE #0: Wed Jan 30 10:06:18 CET 2008 root@nirvana.my.domain:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HYPOCENTER i386 Installed versions: xorg-7.3_1 xmodmap-1.0.3 -- :wq Jona [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkfGvzoACgkQBLVThWGOYx73lgCgsYhwoXYzGOyLhZ+xwT/DUIDt YWQAnizXdi/RyidcvaqNtmkoz8buaBkD =i8QC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
