Justin,

You're looking for xev to display the x events, then bind in
/etc/X11/Xmodmap.  Here's a piece of the file as an example.

! global Xmodmap file -- used by both xdm and xinit (startx)

! keycode and keysym remapping should generally be used only if the X
! server does not use the XKEYBOARD extension (i.e., there is a uncommented

! line "XkbDisable" in the keyboard section of /etc/X11/XF86Config)

! i386 and alpha
! keycode 22 = BackSpace
! keycode 107 = Delete
