Subject: Was an Xmodmap file supposed to be in the XFree86 1.2 distribution?

I'm working on getting XFree86 1.2 to work on my 386bsd system.
All seems to be fine when starting the X server upto the point of
entering input from the keyboard. It seems as if the keyboard
mapping is incorrect or has never been set. Working from this
assumption, I found that the xinitrc file in the base
distribution refers to a .Xmodmap file which was not included in
the original tar distribution file. Neither was the .Xresources
file . My guess is when the tar file was built a '*' was used
instead of the directory name and the (dot) files were bypassed.
If someone has any knowledge of these problems, and if you have
another explaination please let me know. I am still curious why
others are not having the same problems I did.
Would someone please be kind enough to email a copy of the
following files to me? I do not have access to a site which is
actually using XFree86.
The two files are:
/usr/X386/lib/X11/xinit/{.Xmodmap,.Xresources}
Thanks in advance,
Scott Hall
