On my Mac, I have remapped the capslock key to be another Ctrl, and the key to the right of control to be M (meta?). It was real easy, the capslock was in sys prefs, and the M key was a pref in terminal. I cannot figure out how to do it on my Ubuntu 10.10 computer though. There was no remap capslock that I could find under any of the three keyboard pref menu items, and there are no prefs under the terminal that I can find. Can someone advise? I want the windows key on the keyboard to be M, if that matters.

tl;dr; Ubuntu 10.10: Map capslock as Ctrl and Windows key as Meta (emacs)

Thanks!

EDIT: Found Capslock under System -> Prefs -> Keyboard -> Layouts -> USA -> Options -> Ctrl Key Position -> Make CapsLock an additional Ctrl
