FWIW, this is the keyobard section from my 3.3.2.a.debian.has.lots.of.numbers
XF86Config file:
Section "Keyboard"
Protocol "Standard"
AutoRepeat 500 30
LeftAlt Meta
RightAlt Meta
ScrollLock Compose
RightCtl Control
XkbKeycodes "xfree86"
XkbTypes "default"
XkbCompat "default"
XkbSymbols "us(pc101)"
XkbGeometry "pc"
XkbRules "xfree86"
XkbModel "pc101"
XkbLayout "us"
XkbOptions "ctrl:nocaps"
EndSection

What happens when you use showkey to print out the key codes from
