Proper keyboard in X?

[Alan B. <al...@ms...>]

hi,

simple question that I guess some of you know the simple
answer too.

proper keyboard mappings for XFree86 4.1  - how?

I've got my old standard X config for XFree4.x 
but my Shift keys are mapped to Alt , my ctrl is
nowhere to be found, pipe is on vacation to
other side of keyboard etc.  

(I thought I could speed work up by leaving the console
and using a few xterms...oh no....how wrong I was ;-) )

thanks

alan
