I'm not sure what the XKeyboard Extension is. I'm using
stock 1.4 install set, with a home brew Kernel-in-a-Box. If
you mean altering the keyboard via /etc/XF86Config, then
yes, it does work. I use the X server to remap left control
and caps lock as well.

I've gone on to refine the keyboard a bit by swapping the
backspace key with the |\ key. This way, the backspace key
is now closer to my right pinky (since I use it much more
than |).

On a related note (talking about X and all): I've suddenly
lost my ability to access the menus in xterm. If I move the
cursor on top of an xterm and hit control+mouse 1, then I
should get a popup menu. Instead, I get the top left corner
of the menu, and the rest of the menu seems to be clipped.
The menu item that I do see seems to be fine: I can move
the cursor and highlight it. But I only see the first half
of one item.

I've had this happen on Sun's before, so I would think it
is a configuration thing. OTOH, I'm using fvwm 2.2.2 with
the same config files (except for the xmodmap stuff) as on
my netbsd 1.3 laptop with fvwm 2.2. Although I never could
get the X server to swap control/capslock on my laptop....
