I think you're not supposed to need to mess with xmodmap.  There's this
new XKB thing which you are obviously using.  It's configuration has no
user-friendly XFree86 documentation, but a couple users have written
something about it:

http://www.charvolant.org/~doug/xkb/
    "An Unreliable Guide to XKB Configuration"
http://www.tsu.ru/~pascal/en/xkb/
    Russo-English, but much better than nothing.
