Description Kim B. Heino 2009-07-26 10:13:55 UTC 
Bug #508434 describes about altgr. When altgr got broken, xmodmap got also broken. Altgr is now fixed, but xmodmap is not. Initial state:

b@enter:~> xmodmap
xmodmap:  up to 4 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),  Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3      
mod4        Super_L (0x85),  Multi_key (0x86),  Super_L (0xce),  Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5        ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c),  Mode_switch (0xcb)


If I try to clear modifier everything gets mixed up:

b@enter:~> xmodmap -e 'clear lock'
b@enter:~> xmodmap
xmodmap:  up to 8 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e),  Alt_L (0x40),  Super_L (0x85),  Multi_key (0x86),  Meta_L (0xcd),  Super_L (0xce),  Hyper_L (0xcf)
lock        Control_L (0x25),  Alt_L (0x40),  ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c),  Control_R (0x69),  Mode_switch (0xcb),  Meta_L (0xcd)
control     Num_Lock (0x4d),  ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c),  Super_L (0x85),  Multi_key (0x86),  Mode_switch (0xcb),  Super_L (0xce),  Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod1      
mod2      
mod3      
mod4      
mod5      


If I try to clear it again I get an error:

b@enter:~> xmodmap -e 'clear lock'
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  118 (X_SetModifierMapping)
  Value in failed request:  0x17
  Serial number of failed request:  8
  Current serial number in output stream:  8


setxkbmap will fix it:

b@enter:~> setxkbmap -layout fi
b@enter:~> xmodmap
xmodmap:  up to 4 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),  Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3      
mod4        Super_L (0x85),  Multi_key (0x86),  Super_L (0xce),  Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5        ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c),  Mode_switch (0xcb)
