Hello,

Currently I use "setxkbmap -option caps:escape" and it works well, but I'd like to know how to make it persistent through reboot. I set this line in .xinitrc but it didn't work.

depends on your login manager and the desktop environment. Gnome will overwrite XKB settings anyway. KDE would if configured. some login managers (or their Xsession scripts) will read ~/.Xkbmap as options to setxkbmap -- damjan
