Comment 8 for bug 777882

I can confirm this problem too on precise XUbuntu (12.04), 32bit edition.

I tried to remove the lock from the caps lock, i.e. to behave it as a normal shift. With xubuntu 10.10 I had the following working solution:

clear Lock
add shift = Caps_Lock

After the update to precise pangolin 12.04 on the same notebook this doesn't work anymore. I had to change the entries in .Xmodmap to:

remove Lock = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Shift_L
add Shift = Shift_L
