Below is my ~/.Xmodmap. It's an attempt to make the key assignments permanent rather than running xmodmap each login. It's not working. Syntax wrong? keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
