I want to swap the cap and ctrl key, because it is hurting my hand.
Usually all i need to do is to add this line in XF86Config

XkbOptions      "ctrl:swapcaps"

in the keybroad section
but I don't think the X even read that file, because DSL is using vesa?

What should i do to do this?

Have a look at the "xmodmap" manpage for advice on how to do this, and add the appropriate xmodmap command to your /home/damnsmall/.xinitrc file.

I thought of that ...
The problem is that xmodmap does not come with dsl!

That;s why i try to look at the XF86Config approach.

I think xmodmap belongs to the package xbase-clients.
yes xbase-clients is installed, but somehow I cannot find it. It is not in /usr/X11R6/bin

Any Idea?

Maybe,  you should upgrade. It is certainly in the 0.6.x versions.
