I have the same problem in 8.04 hardy heron. Creating /root/.Xmodmap didn't work for me. Adding "xmodmap -e 'add mod3 = Scroll_Lock'" to ~/.xmodmap as per http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Swap- Remap--Ctrl-and-Alt-keys-p17724405.html works, but pops up a dialog for running the addition at login, which is just as annoying.
Beats me why they don't just put a switch on the keyboard somewhere. I've also discovered that ctrl+backspace (no alt) restarts X when scroll lock is on, which caused me to have to re-write this message a few times! -- Scroll lock does not work in X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59417 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
