xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace"
However you lose the delete. So I do
xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace Delete"
So that a shift backspace gives a delete.
Slackware 3.0's xinit is setup up with this command in a file called
/usr/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
which it invokes when X starts. Not sure about Red Hat
Hope this helps,
