Hi,
I had this problem and fixed it by putting a modified .Xmodmap in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/ and also in ~/. I will post a copy on the list when I
get back to my RiscPC.

I only modified the above list, meaning to go back and fix the capslock and
numeric keypad later, but it makes things much easier.

The only other problem I have seen is that mozilla now complains about (from
memory) 'Can't allocate color table entry' or similar and, although pages
appear to load, nothing is visible; but links on the (invisible)pages work!
This does not seem to affect Mosaic or anything else that I have used so far.

regards,
Dave.
