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.

Glen
