found a solution to my problem: Instead of doing: remove Lock = Caps_Lock add mod5 = Caps_Lock
I had to do: remove Lock = Caps_Lock remove mod5 = ISO_Level3_Shift keysym Caps_Lock = ISO_Level3_Shift add mod5 = ISO_Level3_Shift The resulting "xmodmap -pm" looks like this (0x42 is caps_lock): xmodmap: up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x69) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x6c), Meta_L (0xcd) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0x85), Super_R (0x86), Super_L (0xce), Hyper_L (0xcf) mod5 ISO_Level3_Shift (0x42), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c), Mode_switch (0xcb) Hopefully this will help in tracking down the bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/777882 Title: xmodmap not honored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/777882/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
