Please check the documentation for xmodmap becuase the
problem that you are having is because the keymap that
you have,
you can start to seeing the current key with the
following command:
#xmodmap -pk |less
with this command you will see exactly how is your
keyboard configured, and also it allows you to change
the key map to fit your requirements.
I hope this help.
Regards.
