- I'm trying to set xdm to run on our departmental workstations. I've run into
- a slight problem. I just discovered that one of our users remaps the QWERTY
- keyboard arrangment to DVORAK using xmodmap and the keysym command for each
- key.
-
- When he finishes with his login session, the keys still remain mapped to
- DVORAK. Needless to say, this could potentially wreak a lot of havoc on
- most everyone using these workstations.
-
- I suppose he could manually remap the keys before logging out but this could
- become a real nusance. Does anyone know of some way of automating the
- re-mapping process so that another user could come along and be able to use
- a QWERY keyboard arrangement?
-

- thanks in advance,
