I would run -
$ xmodmap -pke

You should have an entry similar to -
keycode 109 = Control_R                                                         

If you don't then check which keycode your right ctrl key is with xev
and throw the line in ~/.Xmodmap then run -
$ xmodmap .Xmodmap

You can set this up in your ~/.xinitrc file so it is started each time
you start X.  

Might work for you.
