It may be a better idea to use xkbcomp to define your keyboard: this
should allow you to define your keys correctly for a German keyboard
layout. As far as I know, xmodmap is older than xkb and xkb is now
preferred. If you use the graphical setup tool which comes with the
vga16 X server, I think there is an option to set the keyboard layout.
I hope this helps,
Andy
