The fact that CapsLock (0x42) was not working was only due to the fact that it is registered as a Control modifier, not as a lock modifier.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xmodmap xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): 32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock control Control_L (0x25), Control_L (0x42), Control_R (0x6d) If I put it only in the lock, it works : in .xmodmap : clear Lock clear Control keycode 37 = Control_L keycode 66 = Caps_Lock add Lock = Caps_Lock add Control = Control_L add Control = Control_R -- Cedric "[Of course] I'm French!
