No. It puts the keyboard into RAW mode, or it wouldn't be able to
detect separate key up and down events, or anything at all for
Control, Alt, etc.

The X keyboard is configured using XKB, which appears to have next to
no documentation, though Google has some more promising links now than
the last time I looked. The XkbRules, XkbModel and XkbLayout options
in XF86Config-4 refer to files in /etc/X11/xkb/ or
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/ (which are the same thing on Debian). The
setxkbmap command can change these settings at runtime.
For quick hacks, xmodmap is still supported for compatibility, and can
be easier to use initially.
