Thanks. Unfortunately, though, something about that failed to solve either problem -- or, rather, it created another problem that made it impossible to test. Creating $HOME/.xmodmap as described and also, as root, creating /etc/X11/Xsession.d/40xcustom_load-xmodmap caused me to be unable to log in as a user. Root could still log in for some reason, but not the user. The culprit seems to be the 40xcustom_load-xmodmap file. At least, removing .xmodmap from the user home directory didn't prevent startx from failing while removing the /etc/X11... file returned things to normal.
Perhaps the version of X11 with my installation is different. Tony -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
