[Bug 287215] Re: xmodmap settings not getting honored when keyboard devices are hotplugged
Still a problem with trusty 14.04. I use a usb switch to multiplex
input devices between different machines and each time that I switch, I
use all my custom settings are lost:
setxkbmap -layout de -model pc105 -variant "nodeadkeys" -option "ctrl:nocaps,compose:menu"
xkbset sticky -twokey latchlock

Title:
xmodmap settings not getting honored when keyboard devices are
hotplugged
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
I use xmodmap to map the caps lock key to the meta key with the
following in my ~/.Xmodmap:
!
! - map capslock to meta key
!
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
add Mod3 = Caps_Lock
This works correctly on Intrepid on my lenovo T61's built-in keyboard.
When I plug in a USB keyboard, caps lock is not mapped to meta, though
it still is mapped that way on the built-in keyboard. If I then re-run
xmodmap on my .Xmodmap, caps lock on the USB keyboard gets mapped
correctly; however, unplugging and re plugging in the USB keyboard
results in its caps lock key being reset to the unmapped state.
This worked correctly on hardy.
