Well, I don't do anything funky myself with xmodmap, and as I said the problem is intermittent. ATM I'm writing this from within another instance of wmii running on DISPLAY=:0 for which the modmap should be exactly the same (the wmiirc differs insignificantly in only a few lines). xmodmap from within the working wmii results in $ xmodmap -pm xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock Caps_Lock (0x42) control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_L (0x7d), Meta_L (0x9c) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80) mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c) Which is what I expect, but this isn't surprising since everything is working fine in this wmii. Unfortunately if I try setting DISPLAY to directly probe DISPLAY=:1 where the dodgy copy of wmii is running then I get refused by the X server. (And I don't have root on the machine so I presume I cannot fix this :( ) I really don't think this is the problem though. ~Chris. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/wmii
