Richard, xmodmap will only work after X has started. I boot into console, so to get it to work I have the modifications in ~/.xmodmap, and then use $ startx from the console. I went too many years of having a box that couldn't handle X, had to do everything from console, that even though I now have a box that easily handles the load X and it's programs put out, I still boot into console and then start X from there. Although to my surprise and pleasure, I've been getting usable results on my 486-66 in X using Fvwm2. Lynx works much better as a browser, but Opera gets by.
