Hi,

in addition to what Gabor said, you might have a look at the programm
"xkbcomp". I once managed to change the keymap and X keyboard
symbols completely by first using
xkeycaps to modify it, then xkbcomp to "compile" a new keymap file which
then could be read without starting xkeycaps all the time.

I had to do this 'cause I had a X server running on a Sparc with Linux,
but the X client was a Solaris machine- and unfortunately the keymaps
between Linux and Solaris don't match! :(

Just have a look at "man xkbcomp". I'm sorry I don't know off hand where X
stores its keymaps by default, but this isn't a too complicated task to
discover.
