But where *is* this keymap that will be read at the start of an X session on
Debian 3.0. r1 /testing?
In the meantime I included this .Xmodmap:
keycode 14 = 5 percent bracketleft
keycode 15 = 6 ampersand bracketright
keycode 17 = 8 parenleft braceleft
keycode 18 = 9 parenright braceright
keycode 20 = ssharp question backslash
keycode 46 = l L at
keycode 94 = less greater bar
keycode 115 = Mode_switch
.. to absolutely no avail so far. On the contrary: some of the FVWM key combos
don't work any more.
So I will definitely remove this .Xmodmap before the next X login.
