Do you think it's due to I "touch" the new file .Xmodmap I checked before but failed to realize which package was missing to have the .Xmodmap under my home directory. P.S. I use the dvorak keyboard, which also brings me with another trouble, the xscreen-saver does not work due to the password recognization problem.
