Full error log

When running an SDL2-based application whilst having custom keyboard bindings through xmodmap, this causes all of the keys on the keyboard to become unrecognized by SDL. Basically, if a program using SDL2 is run through a terminal, it spurts out one of these messages for each key on the keyboard:

    code = 1, sym = 0xFF1b, (Escape), scancode = 41 (Escape)

And makes keyboard input for that program impossible.

Attached is the full error log
