This seems like an *amazing* attempt to keep something from 15 years ago still 
working, in the face of technology that wants to do things differently now -- 
or maybe that wants to cater to users who don't write their own xmodmap files. 
I've been there (although I futzed something together so that when I opened 
konsole, it would apply my settings through .bashrc, massaging the keymap so 
it almost-matched my old Sun5 keyboard).

Keep in mind  that logging in through a display manager, rather than running 
startx from the system console, runs things **differently** and probably runs 
.xsession rather than .xinitc and the DM might not have support for, say, 
login.conf -- SDDM for instance only got that quite recently, thanks to work 
by it-might-have-been-Gleb-maybe.

There's a keyboard configuration module that's really extensive: you may very 
well be able to find the settings you are looking for there (certainly group 
switching and things like that). Systemsettings -> Input Devices -> Keyboard.
