first of all, .Xmodmap is often found in your home directory. if you do
wish to make it site-wide (and don't care about having to do this every
time you reinstall or upgrade X), simply add:
xmodmap /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
although i'd probably not make it a dotfile. ::)
a reinstall will clobber your /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc, but not
your Xmodmaprc.
check out xinit(1)... there's no reference to xmodmap in it.
your xmodmap syntax is correct though.

The keycode is 91 so I created .Xmodmap in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/ and it contains "keycode 91 = comma". If I understood /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc right, it looks if .Xmodmap exists, if so, it sets this as the system wide Xmodmap. But I can't make it work. I always have a full-stop (.) when hitting the comma key on my key pad.
