This is my Keboard section: Section "Keyboard" Protocol "Standard" XkbRules "xfree86" XkbModel "microsoft" XkbLayout "us" LeftAlt Meta RightAlt Meta EndSection as created by the XF86 configuration program during installation.

I think both commands need to run in one invocation of xmodmap or it can't be done. Kinda like swapping capslock/control.
