Can someone suggest how to fix this properly? I'm happy spend the time understanding some code and sending a patch.
My reproduction: - my ~/.xprofile has the following line which turns caps into a Control_L key: `xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap`[1] - I have a bluetooth keyboard for my 14.04LTS ubuntu machine - when I walk away from the machine, I turn off my keyboard (to preserve battery/charge) - when I come back and unlock my screen, my config is reset (ignoring my previous `xmodmap` calls) Also, wow(!), the 7th anniversary of this bug is coming up :) [1]: https://github.com/jzacsh/dotfiles/blob/411572a68ead36ab240bad9e6a550188f19023d1/.config/xmodmaprc#L15-L17 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in 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 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
