Reading the bugzilla bug linked in #16, we are asked to not use gnome if we want to be able to tweak one or the other key on our keyboard, because they are not able to build a working UI on top of xmodmap. At least this is what I read from it. -- You received this bug notification because you are

Wow, what a day. Hoping for relieve on this bug I apt-get install'ed xfce. It has the same problem with a crashing settings-deamon (it has its own). And I noticed that even xrandr just crashed on, what I think, where completely sane inputs with a floating point exception. And I did not really like

Now here is something that did help. In effect it is likely much the same as killing gnome-settings-manager, except it is not killed, but just started later: sudo echo manual >/usr/share/upstart/sessions/gnome-settings- daemon.override This prevents the gnome-settings-daemon to be started by the

What do you mean "on the left"? Somehow it is hard to believe the actual physical location should be important. But clearly one of the monitors must be listed first in monitors.xml and gets x,y=0,0 assigned, while the other monitor is then relative to this one. So we have three properties a monito
