I'm not sure why this was marked Incomplete, and while I appreciate the pointer to the bios update, I don't think it's relevant. This is really about giving back to the user software remapping of keys and modifiers in a user friendly way. xmodmap can do it all but it's far from user friendly. That the Ubuntu desktop *used* to provide this (likely through Gnome) means that this issue *is* a regression in usability.

I think it's entirely valid to reassign this issue away from xorg to a more appropriate package (whatever that might be), but not to close it as incomplete because of a bios issue. This isn't hardware specific, and it does affect multiple people.

Thanks!
