I had the same problems (backspace and single quote); I solved it, but I
forget what I did.
I know that I had a problem at one time that was solved by setting the
keyboard to 104-key, but I think that was to get the Windows keys to
behave as Meta keys.

I think I made a change to the keyboard layout for some reason;
also I reset the locale.
I think the delete key problem was solved in X (the console is OK) by
this:
My $HOME/.xinitrc has:
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
xmodmap $usermodmap
and $HOME/.Xmodmap contains:
keycode 22 = BackSpace
keycode 107 = Delete
(Though these are not the codes that "showkey" gives me for those keys.)
I just checked the console, and the single-quote problem is still there,
therefore I made a change in X. "'" is acting as a dead key for entering
accented characters; e.g. 'e will produce e-acute (how can I enter that
now, in X?). Was it a language setting I changed?
Perhaps these ramblings will give someone a clue; or it might jog my own
memory if I sleep on it (which I shall now do, as it is 4:14 a.m.).
