Chuck,
I don't have the answer to your specific question, but will share what I
just learned about keyboard mapping using .keymap and .Xmodmap to re-assign
keys.
My portables have always been inconsistent in swapping the left ctrl and
caps lock keys in both console and X windows. Sometimes they just refused to
loadkeys or apply xmodmap for me as a user, only for root. Very recently I
came across the solution; perhaps it will be useful for you, too.
Slackware uses the BSD type of services when booting, and the last one is
user-configured /etc/rc.c/rc.local (I'm sure other distros have the
equivalent file). In rc.local I entered (among other services to load)
loadkeys ~/.keymap
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
Now the correct key mappings are applied for all users in both the console
and X windows.
Regards,
Rich
