And after a bit more of digging, I couldn't find any documented setting for the gretter to enable that option... gee, the old GDM2 was -by far- more user-friendly and more easy to tweak :-/ I remember I had to do something similar to what you are seeking for enabling the touchpad "tap" action at GDM3 but IIRC (I'm not in front of my netbook where I have Wheezy with GDM3 installed) I had to edit one of the Xorg configuration files that I had to copy from "/usr/share/X11..." to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synapctic.conf" (or something like that) and then add a line to enable tapping at the login screen (don't ask me for the exact key, I don't remember...). So maybe you can do the same for the "ctrl:swapcaps" by editing the keyboard configuration file (it must be under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ *edev.conf) and put the option there, inside the keyboard input class, which, speaking from memory, it should be similar to: Section InputClass ... keyboard stanza ... more options Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps" EndSection And relogin to check. I can't test it right now but this worked fine at least to enable the tapping. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
