xmodmap certainly does the job on every system I've ever seen. I suspect that the problem is with how you are using it. You should first assign the correct keysim to it (perhaps Alt_L). You should then clear mod1 and add the correct keysims for it. Here are the relevant lines from my .xmodmaprc for my G4 tower with USB Mac keyboard: keycode 64 = Alt_L keycode 113 = Alt_R clear mod1 add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R You will need to determine the keycode for your Command key(s) using xev. They may or may not be different from what I have above. } Tamas --Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
