Yes, the server seems to work fine, other than ignoring Ctl-Alt-BkSpc.
Other Alt sequences work, like Ctl-Alt-+.

The patch doesn't seem to make a difference.
I've attached xmodmap -pk.
xmodmap scripts, that may be it. It looks like SuSE uses a .xinitrc
which may call 'xmodmap /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xmodmap' if it exists and
XSESSION_IS_UP is set. Although it comments that XSESSION_IS_UP is set
by xdm, which I am not running. If it where set, it would use an old
Xmodmap, as I've changed ProjectRoot on this machine and that default
path is an older version, 4.1.0.
Other than that, I don't see anything calling xmodmap. And I don't
think it's calling that one, since it's xdm related.
