Very Computer

Thanks to all who helped me get X going.  It's finally working, more
or less.  I have to start everything by hand, but I'll fix that over
the weekend.

Now, I'm running tinyX, with rxvt for a terminal window.  But some key
sequences are lost.  For example, CTRL-_ (which is undo in Emacs)
comes out as a plain hyphen.  In some programs backspace works, in
others it doesn't.

I'm sure there's an easy way to fix this.  But what?

Thanks.

Directly under Linux you use loadkeys to tell the kernel how to
interpret your keystrokes. Under X you use xmodmap to give this
same information to the X server.
(Unfortunately, these mechanisms are completely independent.
Hope to put a patch to XFree86 into one of the coming kbd-*.**
releases that will initialize X keymap at startup by reading
the Linux keymap.)
I do not know anything about tinyX.
