Run XF86Setup. You think, "But I already had a working X config file."
Run XF86Setup anyway. Don't run xmodmap until you check how the new keys function and verify which ones to modify. On my system backspace deletes to the left and delete deletes to the right in every app I use. (Unfortunately things don't work quite so well when I login to HP systems at work.) Alt works in xemacs. I just tried Alt-Backspace and it works just like backspace. On Mon, Nov 09, 1998 at 07:26:49AM -0500, Brian White wrote: > Just as a follow-up...
