Description rene reitsma 2011-08-17 23:32:19 UTC 
Description of problem:

The .bashrc entry:

xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock"

no longer (after upgrading from fc13 to fc15) switches off the Caps Lock key.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.2.10(1)-release (i386-redhat-linux-gnu)

How reproducible: always

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. stick the line in .bashrc
2. source .bashrc
3. toggle the Caps Lock key (should no longer toggle, but does)
  
Actual results: Caps Lock not switched off

Expected results: Caps Lock switched off

I don't see any relation to bash. Changing component to xorg-x11-server-utils
Comment 2 Matěj Cepl 2011-08-22 13:52:11 UTC 
I believe that the correct sanctioned way is

xmodmap -e 'clear Lock'

(mentioned in the manpage).

Unless it is broken for you, I stand behind this bug being a configuration issue.
Comment 3 rene reitsma 2011-08-22 17:12:31 UTC 
Neither 

xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock"

nor

xmodmap -e 'clear Lock'

nor 

xmodmap -e "clear Lock"


seem to work; Caps Lock remains active (toggling) in all cases.
