fvwm modifiers

[jopeto]

I have a question about modifiers. I would like to assign the mod1 through mod5 modifiers to particular keys. I installed both xmodmap and xev. So I wanted to compare the output of the two, in order to make sure it is working. However when I run xev and press the left Ctrl key, I get the following output:

KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
root 0xac, subw 0x2c00002, time 6321773, (41,36), root:(1192,58),
state 0x0, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
root 0xac, subw 0x2c00002, time 6321903, (41,36), root:(1192,58),
state 0x4, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

On the other hand when I run xmodmap, I get the following:

xmodmap: up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x69)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x6c), Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Super_L (0x85), Super_R (0x86), Super_L (0xce), Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5 ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c), Mode_switch (0xcb)

So in the first case I get keycode 37, while in the second 0x25. Am I reading it correctly? So does that mean that I will need to change the xmodmap bindings?

Thanks a lot in advance.

37 is the decimal value of the keycode. 0x25 is its hexidecimal value. The two values are equal to each other. The same is for all your other keycodes. For example Control_R’s hexidecimal value shown above is 0x69. That corresponds to decimal 105. If you check xmodmap -pke | less and scroll down to keycode 105, you should have a line that reads something like this:

keycode 105 = Control_R NoSymbol Control_R NoSymbol Control_R Control_R
