xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x73)
mod2 Alt_L (0x73)
mod3 Mode_switch (0x40)
mod4
mod5
Looks all right ...
and for xev:

Outer window is 0xc00001, inner window is 0xc00002

state 0x0, keycode 62 (keysym 0xffe2, Shift_R), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
