If I understand you right, you want:
 Delete to delete the character you stand on, and
 Backspace to delete the previous character?

Well I also use a type 4 keyboard and if you use for example xev to check the
code which the keyboard returns you'll see that they are the same for Bakspace and
Delete so effectively it is only one key with two buttons. And thus they can`t work as 
two different buttons.

But if you`ve found a way to separate them please mail me.
