This is very likely an upstream bug - Ubuntu users are seeing it too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/777882 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11-xserver-utils/+bug/785938 Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach * your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), and * X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance. Not sure whether these two upstream bugs are related, but may add some food for thoughts. Sorry, last comment: reporter are you able (as a workaround) to achieve the same result by the settings in your DE (Gnome, KDE and I believe XFCE should be able to do it)? Thank you Created attachment 501450 [details]

However, I do have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-system-setup-keyboard.conf - will attach in a second. > * X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) Attached.

To the best of my knowledge, there's no keyboard remapping functionality built into the window manager I'm using (Openbox). So I don't think so, no. Tore Created attachment 501452 [details]

I've found a workaround that allows me to disable the Caps_Lock key and turn it into a Control key - basically I have to *both* clear the modifier, and change the keysymname of they key to something else than Caps_Lock. Then I can add it to the control modifier: $ cat .Xmodmap clear lock keycode 66 = Control_L add control = Control_L Tore We are experiencing the same problem under RHEL6.2 with xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.10.4-6.el6 This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
