 |
|
Hi there,
I'm using kdm4 as login manager and e16 as windowmanager. To use the multimedia keys on my notebook I created ~/.Xmodmap and /etc/X11/Xmodmap.
| /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: |
#!/bin/sh
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/Xmodmap |
But none of theses files will be parsed. Logged in I can activate the multimedia keys with:
I guess, the xdm-Script starts kdm without xinit and parsing xinitrc. So how can I activate one of my needed Xmodmap files at startup without workaround?
Btw. ~/.Xdefaults is parsed at login.

evdev for input management should render the use of Xmodmap all but gone
add this to /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc:
| Code: |
if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi |
likewise:

KDM setup Under KDM and KDE, the proper place to load ~/.Xmodmap file is ~/.kde/share/config/kdm/Xsession.
File: $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdm/Xsession
#!/bin/sh
if [ -f $HOME/.Xmodmap ]; then
/usr/bin/xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap
fi
Do not forget to run "chmod +x ~/.kde/share/config/kdm/Xsession" [/quote]

| Thanx, I put the workaround into /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. It's working again for me. |
