Keycode Assignments for use by xmodmap

Hello,

I have problems in setting up the Sun Type5 keyboard attached to a
SPARCstation 10 correctly.

On the console screen (right after the login process) I can use 
the grey cursor keys, but when I start XWindows, XWindows seems 
to change the keycode assignments.  These keycodes differ from the 
codes I found in the 'Sun Type5 Keyboard Product Notes', which 
came along with the SPARCstation 10 package.

I won't be able to use the grey cursor keys unless I modify the keymap 
using 'xmodmap'.  The file I feed to xmodmap contains the following lines:

  keycode 27 = Up
  keycode 31 = Left
  keycode 34 = Down
  keycode 35 = Right


Is there a way to have a global keycode assignment instead of having 
each user include the xmodmap command with his '.xinitrc' file?
Or could I prevent XWindows from changing keycode assignments?

I would appreciate any help,

Markus
