For the uninitiated, this is most easily done in the XF86Config
"InputDevice" section, with a line like:

        Option      "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"

I agree with ken.  The PC101 keyboard was wrong.  A real Unix
keyboard, like all of the Sun ones, and every X terminal I
ever used, (and DEC VT-series terminals?) and my current IBM
Trackpoint keyboard has the control key just to the left of the
"A" key.
