On my Lenovo T420 I use this:

 # Lenovo back/forward => PgUp/PgDown xmodmap -e 'keycode 166=Prior' 2>/dev/null xmodmap -e 'keycode 167=Next' 2>/dev/null

to remap the Back and Forward keys (just above the Left and Right keys) from:

keycode 166 = XF86Back NoSymbol XF86Back keycode 167 = XF86Forward NoSymbol XF86Forward

to PgUp and PgDn:

keycode 166 = Prior NoSymbol Prior keycode 167 = Next NoSymbol Next

Unfortunately this configuration is reverted now and then (it happens at unpredictable times). I can also force the reverting back by briefly changing to a console outside X11 (e.g. by pressing CTRL-ALT-F2).

Is there a way I can force X11 to keep my remapping?

Putting this into ~/.Xmodmap

keycode 167 = Next NoSymbol Next keycode 166 = Prior NoSymbol Prior

fixed it for changing to console. It remains to be seen if it also fixed it for the unpredictable times.
