Probably need dbus-scripts; I'd bet there's a dbus signal you can catch, but I don't know what.

By the way, could you post your xmodmaprc file?

i believe it to be much more useful in the long run to go directly to the layout files for whatever language your using.
that is, the files in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols

Even worse: for each OS update your modifications will be lost, and you have to reinstall everything.
The xmodmap solution is much easier and flexible. It is also well documented.

is there any way to get xmodmap files to load when a bluetooth keyboard is discovered? for that matter, is there any way for the n800 to automatically discover keyboards the way the 770 does?

i only had to alter one file to get the effect i wanted. and i made sure to copy a backup to one of my cards so that when i flashed to diablo i only had to copy it back over the diablo one to get the layout as i wanted it
But whenever the keyboard disconnects, either by the 3 minutes timeout or if I close it, all the xmodmap settings are gone. After I connect the keyboard again, i have to call the xmodmap script again.
Probably the best would be if I can automatically run a script whenever the BT keyboard connects.
Any hints?
