Here's what I use in my xorg.conf to turn "caps-lock" into a "ctrl"
key:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard-all"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps,compose:ralt,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
EndSection
It also turns the right-hand ALT key into a compose key and enables
ctrl-alt-backspace as the termination sequence for the X server.
