I've been doing a little more investigating. I'm pretty sure this issue is this:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25262 So, if I understand this correctly, this won't/can't be fixed in X and has to be handled by your desktop environment. It does seem to me that there probably is a way to set the default rates/keymaps. If anyone knows what the canonical way to do that is, I'd love to know! ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #25262 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25262 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287215 Title: xmodmap settings not getting honored when keyboard devices are hotplugged To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/287215/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
