My .xmodmap doesn't work. It used to contain: keycode 108 = ISO_Level3_Shift keycode 222 = XF86PowerDown On logging in, I get a dialog box saying that it's being ignored. Not that it's been imported into some alternative configuration, but that it's ignored -- and I have to go hunting for the GUI tool which allows me to replace it. I couldn't find anything in the Preferences menu which allowed me to set those two keys. I found gnome-keyboard-layout, which seems to know of a 'Gnome Keyboard Default' which is obtained by running xmodmap on a _different_ file in my home directory; .gkb_default.xmm. So I selected that, and added the two lines above to .gkb_default.xmm in the hope that this would suffice. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work either. I've given up and tend to just run 'xmodmap .xmodmap' manually after logging in. What is the 'correct' way to do this? Inspired by the 'Keyboard Shortcuts' option in the Preferences menu, I tried to set some up. I wanted to bind 'eject' to AltGr-e, and 'sleep' to the power button, which now produces the XF86PowerDown keysym. Unfortunately the former seems not to recognise ISO_Level3_Shift as a modifier, so 'eject' gets bound to AltGr, not to AltGr-e. And the latter for reasons which aren't clear to me results in a completely non-functional keyboard after login. ssh-askpass works OK but nothing else. Running xev on :0 from a ssh login shows that on keypress, it's getting the following: KeymapNotify event, serial 15, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 This state can be fixed immediately by unbinding the XF86PowerDown key in the 'Keyboard Shortcuts'. However, it doesn't manifest itself until after you log in again after _setting_ that binding.
