I'm attempting to call xmodmap from a script triggered by udev. I want this to be able to restore my mouse settings every time my mouse is plugged in. Unfortunately, unless I call xmodmap from within an X session, I get an error:
# /usr/bin/xmodmap -display :0 /etc/X11/Xmodmap No protocol specified /usr/bin/xmodmap: unable to open display ':0' This error shows up both when calling xmodmap from my script and when logging in via the console (not X). I have tried various settings of the DISPLAY environment variable and the -display option, with no success. This is on Fedora Core 10. X.Org X Server 1.5.3 Release Date: 5 November 2008 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 i686 Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
