I'm using the standard modifier as I have no ~/.xmonad directory (neither 
on the linux box nor the solaris box). The output of xmodmap -pm is this:

xmodmap:  up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x6d)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40)
mod2        Mode_switch (0x71)
mod3        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod4        Meta_L (0x73),  Meta_R (0x74)
mod5

Seems ok to me...

Any other ideas what I can try?

kind regards,
Stephan
