Die Caps lock Die!
 

Ok, so I've hated capslock for a while now and one of the first things I learned how to do was how to kill caps lock in linux. It was in the XFree86conf file but with Fedora Core 2 it's now xorg.conf, but other than that it's still just the same. Except that uncommenting the line

Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"

and it does nothing.. caps is still on. So I tried uncommenting

Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"

Nothing still. Anybody else have this problem?

Ok found it. In gnome, theres a keyboard command under preferences (gnome-keyboard-properties) with a layout options tab that allows you to 'Make CapsLock an additional Control' (under the Control Key Position group).
