My .xmodmap is the following:

        keysym Caps_Lock = Escape

        ! This maps the kanji-conversion keys to <space>
        keycode 129 = space
        keycode 131 = space
        keycode 208 = space

        ! Map the yen key to backspace (or backslash/pipe)
        !keycode 133 = BackSpace
        keycode 133 = backslash bar

My first suggestion would be to see if you can simply remap them
without trying to use the "remove" keyword.  If that doesn't work,
I wonder if using the keycode xev gives you instead of the keysym
is what xmodmap is expecting.

Bryan,

  It has been working for years swapping caps_lock and ctrl.

In the following line from xev,

        state 0x0, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES

  Here the keycode is 133 with keysym of "Super_L".

Hopefully that gives an idea of where to start.  If not, please
report back to the list.

  Since the existing .Xmodmap has the remove commands (which I see in the
man page) I assume that they're needed for all keys being modified.

Thanks for your input,

Rich
