Did you try to change anything in your keyboard layout using the
"correct" way?
If you're going to customize your complete keyboard layout, it's a good
idea to stick with the xkb system.
You have to write (or copy-and-customize) a complete set of xkb
description files, compile them, and debug them.
I never found any suitable documentation or tutorials for this process,
I never got anything to work this way with the documentation I found.
If you only want to remap one or two keys, probably temporarily, xmodmap
is the tool of choice -- plenty of documentation anywhere in the net and
manpage, and just a bash one-liner to do the remapping rather than
fiddling with a set of cryptic, undocumented files.
