Hi Ryan, thanks for your hints. It helped me to find a workaround, without using ~/.Xmodmap. And now I'm able to switch the keyboard layouts using "gnome-control-center region layouts", too, withour "loosing" the € or $ key of the acer laptop again.
I found these links very helpful. Perhaps they can be helpful for others who are using the approach you suggested: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Howto%3A%20Custom%20keyboard%20layout%20definitions http://www.charvolant.org/~doug/xkb/html/node5.html cheers Dirk -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1072120 Title: ~/.Xmodmap not read on login Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In most previous Ubuntu version I can remember, settings in ~/.Xmodmap were read upon login.
