Martin Bucholz, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-evdev REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

I see mod3 is free. Why not have the Hyper_L key on mod3? It also looks odd to have two Super_L keys in the map, and to have Meta and Alt on mod1. XEmacs gives these warnings: (2) (key-mapping/warning) Two distinct modifier keys (such as Meta and Hyper) cannot generate the same modifier bit, because Emacs won't be able to tell which modifier was actually held down when some other key is pressed. It won't be able to tell Meta-x and Hyper-x apart, for example. Change one of these keys to use some other modifier bit. If you intend for these keys to have the same behavior, then change them to have the same keysym as well as the same modifier bit. (3) (key-mapping/warning) XEmacs: Super_R (0x86) generates Mod4, which is generated by Hyper. (4) (key-mapping/warning) XEmacs: Super_R (0x86) generates both Mod3 and Mod4, which is nonsensical.
