The correct keycodes can be displayed with "xev." 
I was able to make changes accordingly.  Most important
is keycode 66 which disables the "Caps Lock" key.

    /usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 134=degree'
    /usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 135=mu'
    /usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 66=NoSymbol'

Thanks for the pointer.  A simple solution but I have
struggled with it for a while.
