Sorry it took so long. I took the scenic route home.
Below are the xorg.conf and the modprobe.conf,
respectively, for my M2NPV-VM using Fedora 5.

modify the

for a non-U.S.

# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can
use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"

setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your
capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
