  with X 4.x you probably don't even need xmodmap, just use the
following settings in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Logitech Cordless iTouch"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xfree86"
        # erik: default commented out: Option           "XkbModel"     
"pc104"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "logicordless"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"
EndSection

  depending on exact version of logitech keyboard you might need
different XkbModel (or you might still need xmodmap), /etc/X11/xkb files
for more info (it looks like rules/xfree86 is the most interesting one,
also check symbols/inet)
