Description Martin Mokrejš 2017-02-24 00:31:21 UTC

On a new install host I cannot get any session after logging in through xdm. After poking through /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc I checked whether xmodmap is actually installed. Indeed was not.

My issue still persists but this should be fixed anyway.

/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc contains

sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/Xmodmap

...

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

That looks like xmodmap is optional.
