Re: xkb settings, BackSpace not working in X

Ok... let's start with the beginning. Here are the packages I use(some might be irrelevant to my problems... included them just in case): 
-xfree86-comm v3.3.6-11
-xlib6g v3.3.6-11
-xserver-mach64 v3.3.6-11
-enlightenment v0.16.5-1
-gnome-core v1.2.3-helix

/etc/X11/XF86Config
Section "Keyboard"
 Protocol     "Standard"
 XkbRules     "xfree86"
 XkbModel     "pc102"
 XkbLayout    "ca"
EndSection

/etc/X11/Xmodmap
PC keyboard
keycode 22 = BackSpace
keycode 107 = Delete

--------------
if more is required please ask. I really want to get rid of this problem as it is very annoying to only be able to delete in one direction!!

If you had to say I Obey., then it's X4.01, else it's X3.3.6 - and they
are different!


I've got problems in X with the xkb configuration. In X, my backspace
[<--] button does the same as the [Delete] button. I've tried modifying
my XF86Config file but it doesn't work. Whatever I put in the keyboard
section, nothing changes. I tried changing the language but I always
have the qwerty/us configuration. When I use XF86Setup everything works
fine, even when I click "Done" and X is loaded using the settings. But
whevener I startx after that my keyboard doesn't follow XF86Config
keyboard rules anymore.


Here's the section from my XFree 4 config file, which gives me a UK
keyboard:

------ include ----
Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "XFree86 Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "keyboard"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc101"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "gb"
