Hello,I'm using Statler on an IBM T40, which doesn't have a designated super key. However, I found some Xmodmap trickery on the internet, which turns off Caps Lock and sets the button to act as super. I did that on #! 9.04 too, and it works great. On Statler, however, Xmodmap won't load when I first boot up. I have to restart X and log in--which is pretty annoying.
I am setting up openbox on my laptop running Linux Mint 13. I want my Caps Lock key to act as an additional control key. I put the required settings in my ~/.Xmodmap file and checked it by running
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
It works correctly.
However when I relogin to my openbox session, these key changes are not present.
Hi there,
I'm a little confused about the automatic startup of Xmodmap.
I'm using Xmodmap to customise some non-standard keys on my keyboard. Using GDM to get X, I am running Xmodmap ("xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmap") as a startup job in gnome-session-properties.The customisations work well, but if I leave X and then return -- say, to check on of the *top programs running in a TTY -- the Xmodmap customisations are gone.
I recently upgraded by thinkpad X220 from F17 using fedup --network, and since then my xmodmap settings are undone every time I suspend/resume the laptop.
Something similar was reported previously:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692760
however, I've never noticed this before.
For now I'm just leaving a terminal window open and manually re-running xmodmap after each resume,
First you need to remap the Super key to something else so it is not seen as a modifier key any more.Use `xev' to find out what keycode your Super key produces, then use xmodmap to change that keycode to something unused, like F13 or higher.The command will be something like e.g.

Why won’t my xmodmap command run on startup/login?
I have my .bashrc file with the three following commands:
xmodmap ~/.xmodmap
synclient TapButton2=2
synclient ClickFinger2=3
They are supposed to execute when I log in, right?
I'm trying to set up awesome. When I start it the Mod4 (Windows) key is not working. So I tried to extent my .Xmodmap
clear Mod4
add Mod4 = Multi_key
When I run xmodmap .Xmodmap the Mod4 works, but there is "some" left. If there is an open terminal and I press Mod4+Ret to open a new terminal the computer either beeps or on the old terminal there is some dead key (pressing a results in å).
I've been attempting to switch my super and control keys in X on a macbook and have been half successful.
