Xmodmap on bashrc not working

> **Possible Duplicate:** > [Why won’t my xmodmap command run on startup/login?](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/1677/why-wont-my-xmodmap-command-run-on-startup-login) I have my .bashrc file with the three following commands: xmodmap ~/.xmodmap synclient TapButton2=2 synclient ClickFinger2=3 They are supposed to execute when I log in, right? But the changes do not happen in my system (LInux Mint 12) unless I open a terminal window which will execute those commands again. I would like to perform those commands when I log in and to remove then from bashrc, so I put them on .profile but they also keep not changing the behavior from my keyboard and touchpad. What am I doing wrong here?
