There's the old way and somewhat simpler way (xmodmap), and the new and
complicated way (xkb).  XKB is somewhat more flexible, and theoretically
more "correct".  xmodmap is probably easier to achieve (although I'm
banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why my xmodmap
script to remap an extra ThinkPad key to Alt_R now doesn't have any
effect).

You've had a few responses about xmodmap, so I'll give a couple of links
about xkb:
