[snip] I brought this one up here a few weeks ago, and someone pointed out that the problem seems to be related to xmodmap. I'm not sure if it is all .xmodmap files or just the one I have, but in my case either I do without xmodmap, or I can't switch to text terminals (and can't exit X with Crtl-Alt-Del). If you look back in the archive a few weeks ago you will see the thread.
