I just built and installed X.org (X11R6.7.0) from source. That went
painlessly and everything seemed to be working fine.

Fine until I discovered that my Hyper key wasn't working. This was
rilly rilly bad as my WM (XEmacs+XWEM) uses the Hyper key
extensively. Also my Super key didn't seem to be working either.

I have a fairly stock-standard 104 key qwerty keyboard. Under XF86
4.3, the Super key was bound to the windoze "flag" keys by default and
Hyper wasn't on _any_ key. I had defined the windoze "menu" key
to be the Hyper key like this...

xmodmap -e "keycode 117 = Hyper_R"
xmodmap -e "add mod3 = Hyper_R"

I removed those lines from my ~/.xinitrc to see what the hell was
going on. There was _no_ Super key, and there was a Hyper
key... where my Super key was supposed to be!

X.org has set up the Hyper/Super modifier keys in almost the exact
_opposite_ way to XF86 4.3. :-(

My solution, putting Hyper on the windoze "menu" key and putting Super
on the windoze "flag" keys is...

xmodmap -e "remove mod4 = Super_L"
xmodmap -e "add mod3 = Super_L"
xmodmap -e "add mod3 = Super_R"
xmodmap -e "keycode 117 = Hyper_R"
xmodmap -e "add mod4 = Hyper_R"

HTH someone.

Have fun!
