What you have described should have worked, so I'm guessing that
there is some problem with how you are setting the keymap. I'd
suggest that you try the following:

	kbdcontrol -d > keymap.orig
	cp keymap.orig keymap.my

Now edit keymap.my and make any changes. (I actually map ctrl-alt-end
to halt, so I have a choice or rebooting or halting.) Now load the keymap
and check the change way OK:

	kbdcontrol -l keymap.my
	kbdcontrol -d > keymap.new
	diff keymap.my keymap.new

Now try pressing ctl-alt-end, or whatever combination you choose.

	David.
