Yes, sorry. I meant the problem started when I upgraded from 4.0 to 5.0.
Later, I upgraded to 5.0.1 and that made no difference. It is on amd64,
in case that makes a difference.

That seems to look ok (without having a reference at hand).

(When I posted about this before, I got some hint it may be related to a
change in case-sensitivity for keysym names; after looking at some patch
I did a binary patch on my X server to change the case of the string in
Xorg. That made no difference. In any case, the name seems to be
recognised here so whatever that problem was, it is no longer relevant)

I didn't do it before, but I did it just now. A diff -r shows no
difference. This isn't so surprising, since I had no /usr/X11R7
directory before. I do remember needing to change my X config file a bit
because at first, not even Ctrl-Alt-Fn keys were working, for switching
virtual consoles, and that works now. So does Ctrl-Alt-Backspace; even
with my remapped Control_L key)

Hopefully this enables somebody to shed some light on the situation.
