Bug#557124: [xmodmap] Manpage out of date
tags 557124 + wontfix

Upstream will not fix that bug. It's response :
I think I'll give this a NAK, because the new
documentation is approximately as imprecise as the
old one but IMO harder to understand.
XKB controls most of the keymapping now but xmodmap
doesn't know about it. So what really happens when
you assign 8 keysyms depends on the key type. If
you assign 8 syms to a TWO_LEVEL key type the syms
are split across 4 groups. If you assign 8 syms to
a EIGHT_LEVEL keytype, the syms are within the same
group. And the type also defines which modifier does
what.
