I typically run xmodmap from my standard Linux console to among other
things get rid of the 'caps lock' key since I frequently hit it
accidentally.

However, when I run vncserver (tightvnc-1.2.7), the logfile shows the
following error:
          xmodmap:  /home/kosowsky/.Xmodmap:4:  bad keysym in remove modifier
          list 'Caps_Lock', no corresponding keycodes
          xmodmap:  1 error encountered, aborting.

The effect of this is that when running vncviewer the keyboard is dead
-- i.e. *no* keyboard input is accepted.

The offending lines from my .Xmodmap file are:
        remove lock = Caps_Lock
        add shift = Caps_Lock

What can/should I do so that xmodmap continues to run fine from the
console but won't screw up vnc?

Thanks,
Jeff
