This is probably caused by the switch to evdev for input. You might
have better luck setting the options via hal, with something like this
in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-keymap.fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<merge key="input.xkb.options"
type="string">ctrl:swapcaps</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
And then you should be able to remove the InputDevice section in
xorg.conf (or remove xorg.conf entirely).
---------Me again-------------------
I tried this and didn't get anywhere. What I did was to create
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-keymap.fdi
followed by
/etc/init.d/haldaemon restart
and then relogging in.
Also, I note that in the man page for evdev, there is no option for
XkbOptions.
I think I'm close. Any suggestions?
Also, I have an old .Xmodmap file to do the same thing that now fails to
pass through the xmodmap program.
Here's the screen:
524 > cat .Xmodmaprc-20050222

remove mod1 = Meta_R
remove mod1 = Alt_L
remove mod1 = Alt_R
remove mod4 = Alt_L
remove mod4 = Alt_R
remove mod4 = Meta_L
remove mod4 = Meta_R
keycode 64 = Meta_L
keycode 113 = Meta_R
keycode 115 = Alt_L
keycode 116 = Alt_R
add mod1 = Meta_L
add mod4 = Alt_L

xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x69)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x6c), Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Super_L (0xce), Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5 ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c), Mode_switch (0xcb)
