Look for xmodmap.84 at my site and I may have also posted instructions in 
blfiles.htm for using it.  It goes in .xinitrc and fixes the backspace 
problem that we have with many of our keyboards, not just the 84-key 
variety.  But then only one set of the arrow keys works on a standard 
keyboard.  Someone else found a simpler way to remap the keyboard, more 
recnelty.
