I just check with xmodmap. The fact that CapsLock (0x42) was not working
was only due to the fact that it is registered as a Control modifier,
not as a lock modifier.
pradalie@ceruse:~$ xmodmap
xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock
control Control_L (0x25), Control_L (0x42), Control_R (0x6d)
If I put it only in the lock, it works :
in .xmodmap :
clear Lock
clear Control
keycode 37 = Control_L
keycode 66 = Caps_Lock
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L
add Control = Control_R
