Don't forget an old .Xmodmap
written on 22/4/09 by ohcibi
Today i updated my X server to 1.5.3. Since this is a major upgrade there is a special guide to it on gentoo.org
eselect news read 2009-04-06-x_server-1_5
or just visit http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/xorg-server-1.5-upgrade-guide.xml.
In case you have defined your own keysyms in ~/.Xmodmap and have created it like i did it with
xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmapthen it is possible that all youre keysyms are messed up.
So don't forget to delete that file in addition to the tips from out the guide.
