Your calling setxkbmap twice just doesn't do what you think it should. Let's look at the manpage of setxkbmap(1): -option name Specifies the name of an option to determine the components which make up the keyboard description; multiple options may be specified, one per -option flag. Note that setxkbmap adds options specified in the command line to the options that were set before (as saved in root window properties). If you want to replace all previously specified options, use the -option flag with an empty argument first. You are trying to do something which is specifically explained to work. I am not sure, what's your desired end point (could you elaborate on that a little bit, please? I am afraid I don't understand your Expected Results much? What should CapsLock do?), but I believe that left control still working as capslock is exactly what should happens if setxkbmap works according to the specification. If you think that nocaps is just opposite of swapcaps, then you are I am afraid mistaken. If you want to get rid of the settings generated by swapcaps (or anything else), then you have to run setxkbmap -options (without any value to -options switch) and then reassemble desired outcome again. The second point: > # Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp," > Option "ctrl:swapcaps" > Option "ctrl:nocaps" Aside from the same what applies to previous, this is just not syntax of xorg.conf. Take a look at kbd(4): Option "XkbOptions" "options" specifies the XKB keyboard option components. These can be used to enhance the keyboard behaviour. Default: not set. and an example shows: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us,sk" Option "XkbVariant" ",qwerty" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:menu_toggle,grp_led:scroll" EndSection For further information about configuration of the keyboard look at http://www.xfree86.org/current/XKB-Config.html (specifically for us is relevant http://www.xfree86.org/current/XKB-Config2.html). As of that crash in the comment 3, I think it looks awfully like bug 666900, except this is on xorg-x11-drv-intel. Made a comment to that bug. What else remains here to be resolved?

Thank you for hints about my wrong config in xorg.conf
