Are you seeing keypress/release events with xev -- even just the
keycodes, with no keysyms?  If not, then it's not going to work by
playing around at the xkb level.  It means that the key events
aren't getting though, either because they're not being recognised
by the XFree86 keyboard handling code, or because they're not
getting through to it at all.
