When using X, run "xev" and press the greater (>) and less (<) keys to see
what X sees them as.

For example on my box, xev says ">" is keycode 60 and "<" is keycode 59.

Is this on the same keys as comma (,) and period (.) ?

Anyways, use the keycodes found above and try the following (replace 59
and 60 with yours):

 xmodmap -e 'keycode 59 = comma less'

 xmodmap -e 'keycode 60 = period greater'

"xmodmap -pke" is useful to show you your current keycode mappings.

Have fun,
