[comp.windows.x] changes in xmodmap for R3?

benson@ksr.UUCP (Benson I. Margulies Kendall Square Research Corp.) (12/10/88)

VERSION:
    R3

CLIENT MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:
   Sun 3/140 or Sun 3/60 running SunOS 3.5

DISPLAY:
  Lores Mono

WINDOW MANAGER:
   awm

AREA:
   xmodmap    

SYNOPSIS:
   recipe for turning the Sun Alternate key into a second control key
no longer works.
DESCRIPTION:
   Under X11r2, I was able to do the following:

xmodmap -e "clear Lock"
xmodmap -e "keysym Break = Control_R"
xmodmap -e "add Control = Control_R"

this turned the Anternate key into a control key.

I no longer remember how I figured this out, but it don't work no more.
I am not sending this to xbugs, because I suspect that something
that I don't understand has changed.

Does anyone out there know if I can use xmodmap on a Sun3 running X11R2
to change the way the Caps key works?  I would like to disable the Caps
key alone, and make Control+Caps toggle the Lock modifier.  Is this 
possible?

Please respond via email -- I will post a summary...

		Thanks in advance...

If I understand you, you can't do this with xmodmap.
