May be I'm too stupid, but the solutions mentioned in the mailing
archive did not work for me: I tried to use the xmodmap from my
Linux client (SuSE 7.1) but when using it I only get:
| xmodmap.exe: unknown command on line /tmp/xmodmap:0
| xmodmap.exe: unknown command on line /tmp/xmodmap:1
| [...]
| xmodmap.exe: unknown command on line /tmp/xmodmap:87
| xmodmap.exe: unknown command on line /tmp/xmodmap:89
| xmodmap.exe: unknown command on line /tmp/xmodmap:90
| xmodmap.exe: 40 errors encountered, aborting.
What do I have to do to make this work?
