I upgraded from F9 to F10. In my xorg.conf I had this set:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
EndSection
The ctrl:swapcaps no longer seems to take. i.e., I want my ctrl and
capslock to be switched.
Any ideas?
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_L
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

remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_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)

This problem is preventing me from installing F-10 on this computer.
I have a script that runs:
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 116=degree'
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 117=mu'
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 66=NoSymbol'
When I run of those in the F-10 computer it corrupts the keyboard
mapping, the worst thing is that the down arrow key prints a "°" degree
symbol to the screen with the first command which should change a
Windows key to "°".
I am satisfied if I can simply disable the Caps Lock key.
I will be watching responses to your problem.
