xmodmap fails/times out in XFCE

[jdewberr-rtp]

Hi All,

I use a simple xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc in my Autostart with XFCE

It works a few minutes and then "quits" making caps_lock be caps_lock again.

Here's my .xmodmaprc file:

jdewberr@jdewberr-lnx ~ $ cat .xmodmaprc
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
keysym Control_L = Control_L
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L

I've added this as a "hack" to get me around the problem:

jdewberr@jdewberr-lnx ~ $ cat bin/xmod
xmodmap -e 'remove Lock = Caps_Lock'
xmodmap -e 'keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L'
xmodmap -e 'add Control = Control_L'
jdewberr@jdewberr-lnx ~ $

This fails with or without compiz. In compiz I made a quick keybind/command sequence to invoke my xmodmap again.

Tips and assistance greatly appreciated.

It's probably your keyboard which is entering into sleep mode, or may be which is disconnected and then connected again. Is it a USB one?
