According to 'xprkbd' I have various mappings for Meta characters.
Also, 'xev' shows that I am indeed receiving events for Meta key pressed and
the following character. The code returned, however, is the same key as when
the Meta key is not pressed.
eg - Following the command:
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x35 = a A 1"
xprkbd shows as expected:
0x35 0x61 a 0x41 A 0x31 1
However, if I press Meta-A, (according to xev) XLookupString
gives 1 character: "a" (state 0x08).
Can anyone shed any light on this? Or is my interpretation of what xmodmap
does incorrect?

XLookupString does not deal with the Meta modifier (or any other modifiers except Control, Shift, Lock, and Group).
