This thread is derived from an earlier one entitled:
"text-mode : console : resolution : vga 80x25 : how to set?".
Although the OP had given up on consoles, I had hoped that
my post there might reawaken interest. Hence I have strived
here to make any configurations I have suggested applicable
to both VCs and X.

I would look at this thread's post previous to the one you
replied to. This deals with making extensive alterations,
whereas mine are piecemeal (a few keys, single modifier)
for which remap.inc works well (and can keep VCs/X in sync).
Cheers,
