Thank you Daniel for your answer.

I don't know much about X server. 
I have no idea on how to rebuild it.

I'll do some googling ...

Nevertheless, I thought there should be a simple solution to it. I
thought it was only a question of placing my little xmodmapping script
in the right place...

Thanks again,

Tomàs
