I think it was nate who suggested (in your .Xmodmap or something like
that...) to put a:

keycode 22 = Delete

in there.  Try something like this.

BTW, did you ever get the XFree86 to close down correctly?  I still
have not.  I still have no shell after closing it.  I think I will
try to install SYSCONS.
