Package: xbase-clients Version: 4.1.0-16 Severity: important File: /usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap Hi! The xmodmap's manpage is unclear, vague, and confusing, to say the least. I don't understand e.g. what the keysym columns are for--in one place, the manpage reads: | The first keysym is used when no modifier key is pressed in conjunction | with this key, the second with Shift, the third when the Mode_Switch key | is used with this key and the fourth when both the Mode_Switch and Shift | keys are used. But further on, I learned that: | [A]pplications that need a Meta key simply need to get the keycode and | don't require the keysym to be in the first column of the keymap | table. This means that applications that are looking for a Multi_key | (including the default modifier map) won't notice any change. | | % xmodmap -e "keysym Multi_key = Multi_key Meta_L" What the h*** is this? Yours Completely Confused, Jan. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux kontryhel 2.4.20 #1 SMP Sun Dec 15 01:30:10 CET 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 Versions of packages xbase-clients depends on: ii cpp 2:2.95.4-14 The GNU C preprocessor. ii debconf 1.0.32 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.2.5-11.2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdps1 4.1.0-16 Display PostScript (DPS) client li ii libfreetype6 2.0.9-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libncurses5 5.2.20020112a-7 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libxaw7 4.1.0-16 X Athena widget set library ii mesag3-glide2 [libgl1] 3.4.2.1-4 A 3-D graphics library which uses ii xlibs 4.1.0-16 X Window System client libraries
