For those who specifically only wish to make Caps Lock into Control, I found help at this site: http://mina86.com/2009/10/11/more-control-no-caps-lock/
What it says: 1) Open /etc/default/console-setup 2) Add ctrl:nocaps to XKBOPTIONS, for example from XKBOPTIONS="" to XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:nocaps" (in my case from XKBOPTIONS="grp:alts_toggle" to XKBOPTIONS="grp:alts_toggle,ctrl:nocaps") 3) Run dpkg-reconfigure console-setup as root and make all the correct choices for your setup It worked for me! I bet more options can be put there that could solve other problems too. -- xmodmap failure BadValue error, 118 (X_SetModifierMapping) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524774 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
