Using xmodmap to generate right click event

[Philippe Saint-Jacques <philippe.st-jacques%polymtl.ca@localhost>]

Hi, I modified my .xmodmaprc file as such :

keycode 116 = Pointer_Button2
keycode 108 = Pointer_Button3

I also added this line to .xinitrc :
xmodmap .xinitrc

Also, using xev confirms that the 2 keys on the left of my space bar are mapped
as second and third mouse buttons :

KeyPress event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,
    root 0x101, subw 0x0, time 7683302, (402,-107), root:(938,76),
    state 0x0, keycode 116 (keysym 0xfeea, Pointer_Button2), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,
    root 0x101, subw 0x0, time 7683382, (402,-107), root:(938,76),
    state 0x0, keycode 116 (keysym 0xfeea, Pointer_Button2), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyPress event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,
    root 0x101, subw 0x0, time 7684132, (402,-107), root:(938,76),
    state 0x0, keycode 108 (keysym 0xfeeb, Pointer_Button3), same_screen YES,
    XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 96
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,
    root 0x101, subw 0x0, time 7684212, (402,-107), root:(938,76),
    state 0x0, keycode 108 (keysym 0xfeeb, Pointer_Button3), same_screen YES,
    XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 96
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False


Still, I cannot generate right click events using my keyboard.

Thank you,
