What changed then? Why did it work for me before and it doesn't work
now, without Xmodmapping it? The heart of the question seems to be
that X is translating 125 into 115 - how does it do that? Is it
configurable?

I've got my own that seems to work, thanks to Colin. But before it
wasn't necessary. I'd at least like to understand the reason behind
this, be it correct or not.
