From: schiers@tpki.toppoint.de (Carsten Schiers) Subject: Xmodmap does work differenty with XF1.3 Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1993 21:55:05 GMT
I have the problem that xmodmap does not work as I supose any more. Since I
don't understand it anyway, I simply say what I need and maybe someone
knowing it will help me with a hint/file.
I want with X a system that uses Alt as Meta for Emacs (Ctlr-v vs. Meta-v to
scroll) and the AltGr with the germany keyboard to produce {[]}\@ and |.
Now I have XConfig: everything enables, Xmodmap as of Xmodmap.gr XFree 1.3
and an aditional entry keysym Alt_L = Meta_L at the end as worked with 1.2.
With this entry, {[]} etc. will not work but beep, without emacs would not
accept Alt as Meta.
BTW, emacs needs appcursor to be set to off, but sets it to on everytime
it starts. Therefore cursor keys will produce letters.
I dont't understand anything and have no idea in what kind of FAQ I should
look. Please forgive, as I will forgive your ;-).
CU Carsten.
