Well, I hadn't got to moving the keys around yet, since I was just testing with showkey -k & xev. I'm seeing the usual pattern -- keydown event with no keyup event, and the next time and key up event with no corresponding key down event. I don't need to use ADB keycodes for this to work, do I?

It should, this makes caps lock behave as ctrl as far as X is concerned.
See /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/{alt,ralt,ctrl,group,keypad,lock} for other
options.

Hey Michel, Does it work together with the capslock keyboard hack? If so, that would be great. Thanks, jas. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

capslock fix for powerbooks
There are several messages in the archive about this fix -- is anyone
using it successfully? I'm trying it out with 2.4.19-presomething,
and it doesn't seem to do the trick. Is this the most up to date
version of said hack (below)? I'm using a Lombard, btw.
Just thought I'd ask before trying to fix it myself...
