I also got this error. But NinoScript's workaround works well. Thank you, NinoScript! Here is another tip. The following command can be used to reload the settings, instead of login/logout.

And it's easier than login/logout. -- xmodmap failure BadValue error, 118 (X_SetModifierMapping) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524774 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
