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.
