You meant startx, not xstart. Since /etc/X11/Xmodmap is called from /etc/X11/Xsession, it also would not be invoked from xinit. Same here. Just put the line xmodmap /etc/X11/Xmodmap in your .xsession, that's all you can do :) I prefer using xinit over xdm since I use several different windows managers. So what? Do you want to execute X without any window manager? Just make your .xsession look like this: xmodmap ~/.anything xterm -geometry +0+0 That's all! Vad. ++_ Vadik V.

I'm sending you my /etc/X11/Xsession, install it with permissions 755,
owned by root.root, of course. This is the standard debian Xsession
(maybe it's corrupted on your system). Run xmodmap /etc/X11/Xmodmap or
re-login after installing this file... But I can see you're not a newbie
:)
All the best,
