I don't have an .Xmodmap file in my home directory, nor do I have an
.Xsession or .Xinit, etc file. I do have a .xsession-errors file and an
.Xauthority file, but those are the only X-related files I see in my
home directory.
The /etc/X11/Xmodmap is apparently completely commented out (I'm
assuming the "!" character at the start of a line is a comment
character).
The /etc/X11/Xsession.options file only has five lines:
allow-failsafe
allow-user-modmap
allow-user-resources
allow-user-xsession
use-ssh-agent
The /etc/X11/Xsession file has the following lines that may/may not be
relevant:
optionfile=/etc/X11/Xsession.options
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/Xmodmap
usrmodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
startup=$HOME/.xsession
.
.
.
if [ -x /usr/bin/X11/xmodmap ]; then
if [ -f $usrresources ]' then
xrdb -merge $usrresrouces
fi
fi
if [ -x /usr/bin/X11/xmodmap ]; then
if grep -qs ^allow-user-modmap $optionfile; then
if [ -f $usrmodmap ]; then
xmodmap $usrmodmap
fi
fi
fi
Hopefully someone can see a clue here.
