you need to make an xmodmap. i'm quite sure you can find one generic from
your computer already, there's no need to dl it from the net -- that is
ofcourse if you find one. locate xmodmap helps. then you have to just put
in you .xinitrc the command to load that xmodmap, which you have first
copied to your home directory, as .Xmodmap. the command is: 'xmodmap
.Xmodmap'
