Comment 2 for bug 251247

=>I also experience this bug. However, renaming 80ubuntu-xmodmap to
=>999ubuntu-xmodmap does not remedy the problem for me. Is there some
=>other process that is stomping on the modmap later, something not in
=>/etc/X11/Xsession.d?
=>
=>I'm running up-to-date hardy
=>

Instead of renaming, try copying. It seems to work if both are there.

:-(

cp 80ubuntu-xmodmap 999ubuntu-xmodmap

=>I have a .Xmodmap in my $HOME. When I log in, the xmodmap command does not 'take'. I use my .Xmodmap to switch the CAPSLOCK and CTRL keys. I have worked around the problem by renaming 80ubuntu-xmodmap to 999ubuntu-xmodmap in /etc/X11/Xsession.d
