Maybe you looked at the xev output line 'XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode'? If multiple keys produce the same keysym (as here, RALT and LVL3 both produce ISO_Level3_Shift), the keysym to keycode conversion is not well defined. > After all I would say that the xkb configuration is too complex and > bad documented, but understandable in the end. There are few useful resources online. The best one I am aware of is Ivan Pascal's pages: http://pascal.tsu.ru/en/xkb/ Somewhat useful is the 'The X Keyboard Extension: Protocol Specification'. It does not talk about syntax, but it is the most definitive reference of XKB mechanisms. For example, Section 12.2.2 might shed some light on how to understand the output of xmodmap. > I would recommend to forget about xmodmap and use xkbcomp(1) and > setxkbmap(1) to temporarily modify the produced symbols.

Theoretically, 256 levels should be possible (as there are eight real modifiers). The layout I am using has 11 levels. Already here, one starts hitting bugs: xkbcomp does not recognise 'Level9', 'Level10' and 'Level11', one has to write '9', '10' and '11' instead. > Another left-over question is: Is there a default or configured "system > directory" to overwrite > the "installation directory" settings in "/usr/share/X11/xkb", such as > "/etc/X11/xkb"? There is a bug for this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74422 According to the 'Status' field, it is still open.
