I must admit I have some xmodmap-commands in my .xinitrc. They worked fine in my 7.0-Beta1 installation. I now have upgraded to 7.0. X.org is 7.3_1. I copied my ~/frank from one computer to another via NFS. May it be there went something wrong? (See below) > > Check .xinitrc if it is in /root. If it is there and it works copy it over to the /home/user, care for permissions or make it 777. I have only one in ~/frank. > > Watch for /usr/local/lib/X11/xinit -- it will use this when you have no .xinitrc in the /home/user or permission is set wrong! The file /usr/local/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc is set to r--r--r--. It seems to me this is somehow wrong.
