I've fed xmodmap remove Lock = Caps_Lock remove Control = Control_L keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L add Lock = Caps_Lock add Control = Control_L keysym BackSpace = Delete and then echo "XTerm*ttyModes: erase " | xrdb -merge which has worked for me in other unices and is documented in the xmodmap man page for freebsd, but no joy. It doesn't work for xterm either :-( Running 4.7-RELEASE for i386.
