I'm sorry I can't help you with this as I don't understand
exactly what you are asking.

I have a problem my with xmodmap myself, I'm sure its just a
lack of knowledge, but I am using one of those Microsoft Natural
Keyboards with the DUMB Windows95 key where the Alt key should be.
I'd like to map the Windows key (keycode 125) to do the same
thing as the ALT key (keycode 56), can and how is this done 
with xmodmap ?
I tried adding 'keycode 125 = ALT_L' to the .xmodmap, but that 
didn't seem to work, however if I checked with xmodmap -pke
it showed keycode 125 was mapped to ALT_L.
This is very confusing to me, all I want is to be able to
put the Meta-key in the right place.

Thanks for any info or pointers to info,
