I can now reproduce this issue. It is not specific to any hardware difference between MBP1,1 and MBP6,2. I can reproduce it when I use the (default) key to summon Unity (the Super key). I generally use Ctrl+space to summon Unity, and that is my current workaround; this allows the remapped Alt to

This happens when running xmodmap manually or letting Gnome run it. But I think Compiz (and Unity) loads before Gnome. I tested this by setting Ctrl+space to summon Unity and logging in again. Then I changed the summon key to Super and my remapped Alt still functioned normally. I verified this by

I had a brief discussion of this with Neil Patel after the Unity feedback session. He was aware of the issue and suggested that it's probably a bug in Compiz or possibly Gtk. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

This is just a very weird problem. It's almost definitely Unity related, since if I run classic desktop, my xmodmap will always work. Frankly I suspect a race condition because sometimes after first login with Unity, my xmodmap will work, and other times it won't -- but only partially. Here's

This is odd. What does 'xmodmap -pm' say? I'm guessing that the MBP1,1 and MBP6,2 might result in xmodmap having different keymaps. I'll take this Mac to ODS-O as well and we can compare keymaps. See you there! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

That's very interesting. When I run xmodmap from the console (w/o letting Gnome run it for me), I get no errors. Note that I've been using this xmodmap file since at least Maverick without problem. To answer the last question, yes the problem occurs in all applications. I did verify with xev

Oh, one other oddity. To invoke the Unity searcher, I have to hit Super twice. Hitting it once does nothing. Hitting it and holding it brings up the dock numbers after a second or two. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to

I tried your xmodmaprc on a MBP6,2 with Natty and when I ran xmodmap in a console (as opposed to letting Gnome run it for me on login), it complained about removing Alt_R and Meta_R. Once I removed those, leaving: remove mod1 = Alt_L Meta_L and it loaded, the keys were correctly swapped and I
