Same environment specified in my 10 hours old message. I do: Ctrl-Alt-F1 to go to a tty. then
t...@box:~$ echo "remove lock = Caecho "remove lock = Caps_Lock"| DISPLAY=:0.0 xmodmap -v - ! stdin: ! 1: remove lock = Caps_Lock ! Keysym Caps_Lock (0xffe5) corresponds to keycode(s) 0x42 remove lock = 0x42 ! ! executing work queue ! remove lock = 0x42 t...@box:~$ DISPLAY=:0.0 xmodmap -v ! ! executing work queue ! xmodmap: up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x71), Meta_L (0x9c) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0x73), Super_R (0x74), Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80) mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c) Then I do Alt-F7 and Ctrl-Alt-F1 to just pay a mere visual visit to Xorg server. Back in tty: t...@box:~$ DISPLAY=:0.0 xmodmap -v ! ! executing work queue ! xmodmap: up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock Caps_Lock (0x42) control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x71), Meta_L (0x9c) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0x73), Super_R (0x74), Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80) mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c) So the effect of xmodmap lasts until Xorg takes the display. I have an impression that the bug is related to his behaviour. Hope this is not just noisy blur around the real bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524774 Title: xmodmap failure BadValue error, 118 (X_SetModifierMapping) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
