Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
In maverick, I disabled caps lock by having the line 'clear Lock' in ~/.Xmodmap Upon upgrade to natty, .Xmodmap is still being read, and the output of xmodmap reflects it: $ xmodmap shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock control Control_L (0x25), Caps_Lock (0x42), Control_R (0x69) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x6c), Meta_L (0xcd) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0x85), Super_R (0x86), Super_L (0xce), Hyper_L (0xcf) mod5 ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c), Mode_switch (0xcb) But the xmodmap state is not honored and caps lock is still caps lock. Rerunning xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap changes nothing.
