If you are running Gnome then in the tweak tool there is the option to switch otherwise I found this http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?RemapCapsLock Hope it helps some.

Re: [arch-general] ctrl to caps
Try putting this in your xinitrc: setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps On Sat, Apr 4, 2015 at 6:09 PM Bennett Stedwell wrote: > I've been trying to swap ctrl to caps (mainly for emacs) and I've tried > all the basics (dconf, xsession, and xinitrc) but none of them work. >
[arch-general] ctrl to caps
I've been trying to swap ctrl to caps (mainly for emacs) and I've tried all the basics (dconf, xsession, and xinitrc) but none of them work.

Xorg writes its log file on its own, not through syslog and not to the journal; I can tell you that on my fully up-to-date system, at least, Xorg writes to /var/log/Xorg.X.log (or to ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.X.log for non-root Xorg). -- Patrick Burroughs (Celti) pgpqGfhEW4PrN.pgp Description: PGP signature

Any ideas how can I debug this problem further ?
Have a look at X's logfile, /var/log/Xorg.log. There should be messages that
say the modes
are being removed, and why (not enough Vram, some parameter out of range,
etc.). It's likely
warning or errors, so it should be among the output of egrep '\([WE]{2}\)'
Xorg.0.log.
Good luck,

Hmmm... Martin, if you still have a Xorg.log it means you have a really
old installation, or you installed syslog-ng and integrated it with
journalctl, something that is not standard anymore. Heck, OpenSUSE just
removed it of Tumbleweed, it's a sign of the times.
Alfredo, as Arch uses systemd/journalctl, you need to use the command:
journalctl -b0 _EXE=/usr/lib/xorg-server/Xorg
If you are not in the systemd-journal group, you may need to run the
command in a root shell or with sudo.
