Darwin keyboard woes

Hi,
I'm a Mac user and I use uControl (http://gnufoo.org/ucontrol) to remap
the modifier keys on my keyboard so that I can do things like turn
caps-lock into command and swap the option and command keys by the
space bar. Unfortunately it seems that any key that I touch with
uControl just vanishes as far as X is concerned. For example, if I
turn caps-lock into command, launch X, then run xev, caps-lock produces
absolutely no response. All this stuff works fine with Apple's
X11.app. I understand that XDarwin handles the keyboard differently,
but I'm not sure how to go about solving this problem. I would
appreciate any suggestions that people have.
Also, even without uControl in effect, I get no response in xev from
the option/alt key on my powerbook. This is with Xorg 6.8.2 RC1 on OS
X 10.3.7, but I've seen the problem with every non-Apple X server I've
tried.
Thanks in advance,
-n8
PS. Please CC me when responding.
