I've done exactly this, but it still doesn't help. Without the .xmodmap file, the command key behaves as alt, but with it I get no meta key at all. Really weird...


Here's my .xmodmap:

clear Shift
clear Lock
clear Control
clear Mod1
clear Mod2
clear Mod3
clear Mod4
clear Mod5
keycode 63 = Meta_L
keycode 66 = Alt_L
add    Shift   = Shift_L Shift_R
add    Control = Control_L
add    Mod1    = Alt_L
add    Mod2    = Mode_switch

I have a TiBook 800MHz running 10.2.4 with X11 0.2.

Any hints are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ovidiu

Here's my .Xmodmap file --

Comparing it with yours, I see the keycodes are swapped -- see if that's the problem

clear mod1
clear mod3
keycode 66 = Meta_L
keycode 63 = Alt_L
add mod1 = Meta_L
