Oh. I expected some kind of setxkbmap -option silliness. Thank you Frans, but the Modes keyword and I are old friends.

Not that I never go mad, but that tends to be *after* X upgrades. -- André Majorel http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/ _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
