so if I'm not totally wrong it should _not_ matter where the xmodmap command is run, because the setxkbmap would always overwrite it right ?
Sure it *does* matter. xmodmap needs to run *after* setxkbmap. This is fixed for openSUSE > 11.0. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I agree that under normal circumstances yes... once again, please read my previous comment carefully. when I put a custom xmodmap into the FIRST line of xinitrc.common it works. that is setxkbmap is still run AFTER xmodmap and it works... when I said it should not matter where xmodmap is run in the script I wanted to point out, that setxkbmap would always overwrite it... so putting xmodmap before "# Source this file only once" or after "# Source this file only once" should not matter at all with setxkbmap being run as the very last command in that script. to show you once and for all what I mean: this does not work: ------------------- # /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common # # Common code used in X session and X init scripts. # File shall be sourced but not executed by the scripts. # # # Source this file only once # test "$XSESSION_IS_UP" != "yes" || return XSESSION_IS_UP=yes export XSESSION_IS_UP xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap .. .. this works: ----------- # /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common # # Common code used in X session and X init scripts. # File shall be sourced but not executed by the scripts. # xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap # # Source this file only once # test "$XSESSION_IS_UP" != "yes" || return XSESSION_IS_UP=yes export XSESSION_IS_UP .. .. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I never claimed I understood anything about it, except that it is broken. Nor did I propose anything, I was presenting mere facts hoping to nudge some knowledgable person to fix it. Apparently this is not appreciated. I know quite well that it is impossible to deliver 100% bug free code given such short release intervals. Let me remind us of the rescue system desaster of 10.3. It is also true that people unfortunately tend to remember the little things that did not work, ignoring the 99.75% that worked. And I don't want to start talking about regressions... even worse - as you've had to find out talking with me. I hereby propose to trash 11.0 once and for all, ignore all the big speed improvements of zypper, working compiz integration, proper display recognition for widescreen laptops... ... ... and downgrade to 10.3 which at least could handle custom keys (which is what end users see & remember). gone home crying...
