Bug#557124: [xmodmap] Manpage out of date



tags 557124 + wontfix
stop

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.
