On Fedora 19, when I run xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
it locks my display for about 15-20 seconds. The command completes successfully, but I am unsure of why it takes so long. I'm assuming there is an X module that has to be reloaded, or something like that.
Is there a way to make it faster?
time xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
and alsostrace -f -tt xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
?time
but it reports 0.02s. That's what makes me think there is some part of X that is consuming most of the run-time.strace
reports approximately 0.02s as well.
