Package: x11-xserver-utils Version: 7.5+1 Severity: normal This is a long standing issue apparently. I rarely use xmodmap but for mod4 remap on thinkpad. Something very easy like:
------ clear Lock add mod4 = Caps_Lock ------ simply does not work when xmodmap is called within .xinitrc or .xession at startx call. I tried different tricks suggested here and there, such as calling each instruction by '-e' option, calling xmodmap twice in a row, etc. These days the only way to work around is using some autostart functionalities of the various desktop/window manager in use. And also that could fail (e.g. in awesome it does not work when called with a awful.util.spawn_with_shell()). Of course, it also works when called within an xterm client. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages x11-xserver-utils depends on: ii cpp 4:4.4.4-2 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libice6 2:1.0.6-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.5-2 X11 authorisation library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.7-1 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxext6 2:1.1.1-3 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxi6 2:1.3-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxmu6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxmuu1 2:1.0.5-1 X11 miscellaneous micro-utility li ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.0-3 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.5-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.0-2 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l ii x11-common 1:7.5+6 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc x11-xserver-utils recommends no packages.
