Well, to make your keyboard work properly in X, *you* must tell X what
kind of keyboard it is. RedHat won't do this for you. If you're not
using a 101-key US keyboard, don't use it's mapping. The most common
cause I've seen for this is when people call a 104-key "Microsoft Win95
enhanced" keyboard a standard 101-key keyboard. I haven't investigated
why this screws the Backspace mapping, but it does.
