My .xsession file has the following in it:
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
xmodmap $usermodmap

Notes on my remappings:
I set the PF1-PF4 keys to be on the keypad instead of F1-F4. Since I am using
"-" for "TPU delete line, PF4", I redefine the "+ 86 keycode" to be "-".
That way "+" becomes the "delete word" key in TPU. Doing it that way I only
lose the "delete char" commands on the keypad and not "delete word" or "Delete
Line".
If somebody wants to use F1-F4 (instead of Num-Lock / * and - on the keypad)
for PF1-PF4 then you just need to use keycodes 67-70 (F1-F4) instead of 77 112
63 & 82 from above. BTW, I haven't figured out a use for NUM Lock in LINUX so
I haven't missed not having it.
Understand that I set erase to be ^? and not ^h. You don't need to do that
if you aren't using Delete for Erase.
I hate hitting Caps Lock thinking its Ctrl (it is there on an LK keyboard) so
I set Caps to Ctrl and don't worry about locking.
I, also, change the numeric keys to always send the keypad_number keysim
instead of the keypad_Home _End, etc keysims. That way I don't care how the
keypad was defined when an xterm was initialized or have problems when I am
using telnet.
I hope that helps...
