ctrl:nocaps not working anymore

Hi,

I have this in my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Keyboard0"
    Driver      "kbd"
    Option      "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
EndSection

The ctrl:nocaps option should result in the caps key having the same function as ctrl.
But the caps key still has its caps functionality .

It has worked in the past, I believe the problem arrived with a xorg update.

Any help?
Thanks!
Nathan

Configure "input.xkb.options" via HAL:  http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … figuration

Re: ctrl:nocaps not working anymore

I'm seeing this with the xmodmap method also. The strange thing is that disabling Caps_Lock still works properly, but changing it's functionality doesn't. Anyway, this wasn't caused by the xorg-server update, it's newer than that. It's only been around two or three days since it started.

tdy, that's good advice. I'll check it out.

Re: ctrl:nocaps not working anymore

Stange, the xmodmap method works for me. Then again, I'm swapping my caps lock and ctrl keys, not adding a ctrl key.

remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L

Then i put "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" in my ~/.xinitrc
