If you have an i855 or such, try running 'X :1 -probeonly -ac' some day,
when you have an X session already running.

FYI: The version that Ross is running is built from trunk that already
contains the patch you provided.

Can you please send us both the logs with the working and non-working

I know, otherwise xmodmap would have displayed BadKey symbols ;)
It seems that I was unclear, my previous post was to tell that current

consider them as bugs and applications should be fixed instead.
