Description Branden Robinson 2005-03-25 15:16:26 UTC
This was filed against Debian's XFree86 4.3.0 packages, but as far as I can tell
the only changes to exec.c since XFree86 4.3.0 were to PrintModifierMap(), which
corresponds to xmodmap -pm, not xmodmap -pk.

Here's the original report:

PrintModifierMap() prints the number of modifiers specified by the 
numKeyPerModifier field in the response from the GetModifierMapping X request.

xmodmap from current Xorg CVS is printing more than two for me, when run 
against either the Solaris Xsun or an Xorg 6.8.2 server - for instance:

keycode  79 = KP_Home KP_7 F27 KP_7 F27 NoSymbol Home
keycode  80 = KP_Up KP_8 F28 KP_8 F28 NoSymbol Up
keycode  81 = KP_Prior KP_9 F29 KP_9 F29 NoSymbol Prior
keycode  82 = KP_Subtract XF86_Prev_VMode
keycode  83 = KP_Left KP_4 F30 KP_4 F30 NoSymbol Left
keycode  84 = KP_Begin KP_5 F31 KP_5 F31
keycode  85 = KP_Right KP_6 F32 KP_6 F32 NoSymbol Right
keycode  86 = KP_Add XF86_Next_VMode
keycode  87 = KP_End KP_1 F33 KP_1 F33 NoSymbol End
keycode  88 = KP_Down KP_2 F34 KP_2 F34 NoSymbol Down
keycode  89 = KP_Next KP_3 F35 KP_3 F35 NoSymbol Next
keycode  90 = KP_Insert KP_0
