[Bug 524774] Re: xmodmap failure BadValue error, 118 (X_SetModifierMapping)
For those who specifically only wish to make Caps Lock into Control, I found help at this site:
http://mina86.com/2009/10/11/more-control-no-caps-lock/
What it says:
1) Open /etc/default/console-setup
2) Add ctrl:nocaps to XKBOPTIONS,
for example from
XKBOPTIONS=""
to
XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:nocaps"
(in my case from
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alts_toggle"
to
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alts_toggle,ctrl:nocaps")
3) Run dpkg-reconfigure console-setup as root and make all the correct
choices for your setup
It worked for me!
I bet more options can be put there that could solve other problems too.
