What does "sequence lost" mean? Why is it printed when I run xmodmap with the following file: remove Lock = Caps_Lock remove Control = Control_L keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L add Lock = Caps_Lock add Control = Control_L keysym BackSpace = quoteleft asciitilde keysym quoteleft = Escape Configuration: X11R2 on IBM PC/RT with an AED running the feb 2 release of AOS on the slow hardware. Thanks, Rob Hagens

>> What does "sequence lost" mean?
It actually has nothing to do with the xmodmap program or the hardware
you are running on. It is a message from an internal xlib routine
that tries to interpolate a 32 bit sequence number from the least significant
16 bits that are provided in all protocol events, replies and errors.
What it means is that Xlib thought the sequence number was marching
along quite nicely:
0x3f01, 0x3f02... 0xfffe, 0xffff, 0x10000, 0x10001
and all of a sudden, before it could adjust its suspenders, it
looked as if the number went backwards! Oh no! What it suggests is
that there is a problem in Xlib, the server or your compiler.
Its also particularly interesting because a program like xmodmap
would not be generating enough requests to get the number up
high enough to overflow into the next 16 bits, like the sequence
shown above, which is where this problem usually showed up when
it was first written.
I'm afraid it doesn't happen on my machine so I bet its your compiler.
Can anyone else repeat this using xmodmap on the file
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L
keysym BackSpace = quoteleft asciitilde
keysym quoteleft = Escape

I want to redefine the IBM-RT keyboard for EMACS. How can I do this under X? Xmodmap seems to be a step in the right direction as it allows me to swap keys around, but it doesn't seem capable of assigning a string of characters to one key. Nor does it seem capable of assigning a control code to an unmodified key. Am I missing something about xmodmap? Or is there another utility to assign function keys?

On the Dec3100 we have, the comma key generates a comma both with and without the shift pressed. I'd like the shift-comma combination to generate a < (and the comma key without shift to generate a comma). Can someone send me an example of how to do this using xmodmap. Thanks.

I'm having trouble getting xmodmap to map the keys I require, I hope somebody can help! We are running DECWrite under Ultrix and displaying on SparcStations. DECwrite makes heavy use of the "Do" key that maps to F16 (or ESC[29). How can this key be mapped to a SparcStation key like F1? Is xmodmap the right client to use and will it work for applications that are simply being displayed on a server? What is the correct xmodmap input to do this ?

How can this key be mapped to a SparcStation key like F1? xmodmap -e 'keysym F1 = F16' The translation to ESC [ 2 9 (which incidentally is not a complete escape sequence according to X3.64) happens, if at all, in the client. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
