Keysyms may need remapping when accessing different X-server implementations (as noted in bug #126939). This is implemented by the patch there (incorporated in x2x-1.27-r2), which added a new command-line option (-keysym) to x2x. Unfortunately the patch did not contain a corresponding update of the documentation. Eg the usage string does not mention the new option: Usage: x2x [-to <DISPLAY> | -from <DISPLAY>] options... -copyright -font <FONTNAME> -geometry <GEOMETRY> -wait -big -buttonblock -nomouse -nopointermap -north -south -east -west -nosel -noautoup -resurface -shadow <DISPLAY> -sticky <sticky key> -label <LABEL> -buttonmap <button#> "<keysym> ..." I suggest adding -keymap <from-keysym> <to-keysym> somewhere suitable in the above list, as well as adding a corresponding paragraph to the x2x(1) man-page. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See above. FYI: A typical example of how to use the option is -keymap ISO_Level3_Shift Mode_switch which maps the AltGr on current Xorg to the AltGr on old (eg Sun) X.
