xmodmap is an older tool for changing the binding between keys on your
physical keyboard and their meaning to X -- such as making the 'Caps
Lock' key act like 'Control' or changing the keyboard layout to dvorak
in software.

The specific error there is that something is instructing xmodmap to
read the "standard" set of per-user keyboard maps but, since the file
doesn't exist xmodmap complains.

You can safely ignore this message.
