Sorry; I didn't make myself clear. It is of course in X that I want xmodmap to work. However, the error messages appear in the console BEFORE I start X with startx. They say " "XMODMAP: unbound variable" (repeated twice). With slightly different scripts I get messages saying DISPLAY is not set. This also happens if I ssh into the computer from outside. Possibly they are harmless, in which case I'll ignore them, since xmodmap is indeed being run in X. -- Anthony Campbell - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Microsoft-free zone - Using Linux Gnu-Debian http://www.acampbell.org.uk (blog, book reviews, on-line books and sceptical articles) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
