.Xmodmap has no effect
Below is my ~/.Xmodmap. It's an attempt to make the key assignments permanent rather than running xmodmap each login. It's not working. Syntax wrong? keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Try with the -verbose option to turn on logging. Actually looking at /etc/X11/Xsession.d/foo (forget which one) it is probably that XKB is active as well (apparently they don't play nice together). Do you (OP) have keyboard model setup or an xkb startup file? Unfortunately I'm still trying to figure out how to do this without invoking whatever monster it is that made the Xsession people prevent loading xmodmap and xkb at the same time. -- And that's my crabbing done for the day.

Well, uhhh, hmmm - dunno. Anyway, stuck a bash script into Autostart that runs xmodmap on the Xmodmap file (renamed) and all is well. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
