Darwin keyboard woes

[Nathaniel Gray]

Hi,

I'm a Mac user and I use uControl (http://gnufoo.org/ucontrol) to remap 
the modifier keys on my keyboard so that I can do things like turn 
caps-lock into command and swap the option and command keys by the 
space bar.  Unfortunately it seems that any key that I touch with 
uControl just vanishes as far as X is concerned.  For example, if I 
turn caps-lock into command, launch X, then run xev, caps-lock produces 
absolutely no response.  All this stuff works fine with Apple's 
X11.app.  I understand that XDarwin handles the keyboard differently, 
but I'm not sure how to go about solving this problem.  I would 
appreciate any suggestions that people have.

Also, even without uControl in effect, I get no response in xev from 
the option/alt key on my powerbook.  This is with Xorg 6.8.2 RC1 on OS 
X 10.3.7, but I've seen the problem with every non-Apple X server I've 
tried.

Thanks in advance,
