[comp.windows.x] X11R3 xmodmap problem

dick@unix386.Convergent.COM (Dick Hacking) (03/22/90)

I am using X11R3 xterm with the Visionware X-server on a PC clone
running Windows-386 and am having several difficulties which I hope
someone can help with.

1. I do not seem to be able to change the function key mapping
using xmodmap. What I want is for the F1-F4 keys to give out the
vt100 PF1-PF4 strings and the following command line did no good:

	xmodmap -e "keycode 112 = Escape O P"

xenv still tells me that there is only one character in the XlookupString
and that character shows up as an O on the screen.

2. I am trying to find a mapping for a single quote but don`t know
the keysym name or the default keycode numbers. Where are these
documented?

3. Occasionally my whole PC just stops accepting keyboard input
although the cursor is still moveable by the mouse no events are
transmitted across the network. Any Ideas??? A reboot of the PC
is usually necessary to recover from this condition.

Thanks in advance for any assistance
