Hi list,

Any one know how to make the Caps_Lock key act as the Control key?

I have the latest Fedora from rawhide kernel 2.6.9-1.667. I have tried the usual stuff:

- edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with line Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps" *****DID NOT WORK*****

- once X is running and I log I tried using xmodmap with something like this. xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock" -e "keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L" -e "add Control = Control_L" *****DID NOT WORK*****

- I also tried editing the /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map.gz file changed the line

...

keycode 58 = Caps_Lock

...

keycode 58 = Control

*****DID NOT WORK*****

- last I tried using gnome's keyboard map tool. *****DID NOT WORK*****

I am out of ideas just can't get that damn Caps_Lock key to behave as a control key. Any clues.

Thanks Rene
