Hi,

I use GNOME and gdm.

I try to use ~/.Xmodmap to load my settings for the XKeyboard.

In the file:
/etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default

I have this line:

/usr/bin/xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap

but this has no effect.

How can I use .Xmodmap with gdm to change my XKeyboard?

Doesn't this get overriden by the gnome keyboard applet running an
explicit setxkbmap?

So, it's impossyble to one use it's own Xmodmap in GNOME?

If you run 'xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap' in a terminal do you get the expected
result?

(my .Xmodmap works fine with gdm, but I use Xfce, not Gnome)
