so any helps??
If it's a default Ubuntu install, meaning you're a Gnome user, name the
file .Xmodmap rather than .speedswapper. When you log in, it should
detect it automatically, and ask if you wish to use it.
You might also find that configuration option available in the Gnome
"Keyboard Properties" part of the system configuration menu, I'm not sure.
Hi, I've been using this tip for ages and find it very useful, but I
have the same problem as jaywee and none of the solutions so far
suggested have solved the problem. I am using Debian Etch with KDE
3.5.5. In my home directory, I have tried creating a .xinitrc with the
same contents as the .speedswapper file (there wasn't one already
existing), I have tried creating a .Xmodmap file with the same contents
and I have looked in the KDE control panel for anything that might be
able to do this, but didn't find anything. It's not a big problem, but
it just would be nice to have it done automatically :-)
Thanks for any help,
Rob.
