I can confirm the problem persists on oneiric.

I've just installed one of my laptops from scratch with the minimal 11.10 media, without any "tasks". And then proceeded with installing xorg, slim and awesome.

xmodmap does not return any errors, but it doesn't set my caps_lock to mod5 either.

Since this installation does not have gnome on it, I can't use my previous trick with gnome-keyboard-properties > layouts > options...

So far I figured it was some gnome thing that was the cause of the problem, but apparently it's xorg itself?

Is there any way for me to emulate what gnome-keyboard-properties does? I would really like to be able to use my caps_lock as mod5, no matter how I need to go about it.
