xmodmap settings cleared by switching to alt-ctl-f2 vt terminal
Last modified: 2015-02-17 10:49:08 EST
Description of problem: The xmodmap settings are cleared by switching to alt-ctl-f[2-7] vt terminal and back again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel.x86_64 3.9.8-300.fc19 xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-1.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cat << EOF > /etc/X11/Xmodmap ! clear the shift lock and make that key a Control key clear Lock keycode 0x42 = Control_L add Control = Control_L EOF 2. xmodmap /etc/X11/Xmodmap 3. alt-ctl-f2 4. alt-ctl-f1 5. type alskdjflasj in a terminal window. 6. type <shift-lock>a 7. notice that a capital A is typed at the end of the line instead of the cursor moving to the first char position. Actual results: Switching to an alternate terminal clears the xmodmap settings. Expected results: Switching to an alternate terminal shouldn't clear the xmodmap settings. Additional info: I have no idea what to file this against. Xmodmap? Xserver? Kernel?
