Blush !!!!! Yes of course, I should have checked. It was NOT executable, so I corrected this. Thanks for your "wild guess" ! But .... amazingly the xmodmap command as mentioned above still insn't executed (or anyway does not result in setting the eurosign to the F12 key) after re-login. I know by now that .xinitrc is executed because I added a statement : logger ".xinit executed by me" , which I can see in /var/log/messages.
So : any suggestions why the xmodmap statement has no result ??? (The same statement works allright when I execute it by hand in shell)
TIA and cheers,
In your original post, you said the xmodmap line is close to the end of your .xinitrc file, but how close? I mean you should put any other noncomment lines before the line executing the WINDOWMANAGER, like "exec /usr/bin/fvwm2". Since it will only return after you end your X session. So did you put the XMODMAP line before the WINDOWMANAGER line? Otherwise can you just post your whole .xinitrc file? HTH -- Yongtao Yang email: yongtao.yang@telia.com
