I forgot to mention that the keymap I'm using is a modified us.map in which
I've changed Caps_Lock to send Control.  As for X, here's the relevant parts
of XF86Config:

Option "XkbRules"   "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel"   "hp2505"
Option "XkbLayout"  "en_US"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"

I'm using hp2505 since it seems to work well with my Dell Inspiron 8500
notebook.
