Bug 89624 – [PATCH] xinitrc does reads wrong global Xmodmap (and Xresources)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description whereami 2005-04-19 01:08:46 UTC]

/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc reads the wrong global Xmodmap file. it reads /etc/X11/.Xmodmap, but google says it should read /etc/X11/Xmodmap

I am assuming this applies to Xresources too.

bug #79998 may be related to this

the header of my xinitrc reads:

# $Xorg: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:30 cpqbld Exp $

does this indicate that this bug should go upstream to Xorg? or is xinit a distro-specific thing?

here's a short patch:

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. add some stuff to /etc/X11/Xmodmap
2. startx or xinit
3. watch your changes not work

Actual Results:  
xmodmap commands are not performed

Expected Results:  
xmodmap commands should be performed, but are not b/c xinitrc reads the wrong file.

I'm probably just wrong about this, so let's clean up.

[Comment 2 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2005-08-14 00:29:18 UTC]

No, you're right.

[Comment 3 Joshua Baergen (RETIRED) 2005-09-08 16:22:09 UTC]

Fixed in modular.
