Hi,

regular Fluxbox menu, just once. Then, after I choose a program and it loads

Caps Lock is doable via the GUI after all.
There's an Options button in the keyboard layout section where such things
can be controlled.
All I need is to set three finger taps to equate to middle mouse button click
and I'm sorted.
It may be possible to remotely turn the phone on via the modem. However, if
the modem is actually in an off-state (which is what I'm talking about) it
shouldn't be possible to turn on remotely.
If the modem is on I'd agree with you in that it can access CPU, memory, etc

Your knowledge is a bit dated. E911 has been mandated for a number of years.
Your location can be pinpointed with far greater accuracy, usually to within
a few feet.

If my search engine-fu is strong, seems it can't be done. A "design

Perhaps the easiest way would be to try another dm, e.g. lightdm or kdm.
Maybe those would be more sane.

Dunno if it's the official way but you can control touchpad behavior with
synclient. Read the synaptics man page to see how it works.
I'm sure it's possible to disable Caps Lock but don't ask me how. Some custom
keymap or something.
What exactly happens?

Free software is software that respects your four essential freedoms

Likewise, Linux is a kernel.

Glad to hear you managed to figure it out. Put that insmod in your rc.local.
You can include the setpci command in the resume scripts. Read pm-action
