I don't use xorg.conf to do it. I use this commands in the startup script of fluxbox: setxkbmap -option & setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,il & So you can use setxkbmap to check configuration and then apply it to xorg.conf.

Hi,

I am using a recent gentoo (updated on a nearly daily basis).
For me the CAPSLOCK-function is totally useless and I want
to deactivate it as soon as possible to ACCIDENTLY SWITCH
ANYthing uppeRCASE. ;)

Is there any way to acchieve this -- it would greatly improve
my typing...

Thank you very much for any help in advance!
Best regards
mcc


I'm using CAPS to switch from English to Hebrew. I d= on't use xorg.conf to do it.
I use=C2=A0 this commands in the start= up script of fluxbox:
setxkbmap -option &
setxkbmap -option grp:s= witch,grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,il &

So you can use setxkbmap to check configuration and then apply it to xo= rg.conf.
