I have always found that continous upgrade eventually break the system. A clean install should be the recommended choice.
I have been updating my Lenovo laptop every 6 months since 7.03 and it's still going fine.

IIRC I didn't finding any easy way of making xmodmap settings persist over reboot, so I just took had a script that runs "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" run at startup. (Of course then I switched to xfce on my laptop, which seems to run its own xmodmap command after its run startup scripts or something which overrides them, which is kinda annoying, haven't found a nice way to get around that).
Try putting your `xmodmap' command in `~/.xinitrc'. It gets read whenever the X server starts (`startx').
(Apologies if me saying 'runs at startup' was misleading -- obviously if I had tried to do it from a script that ran on boot, before X starts (rather than on session start) it could never have worked in the first place!).
Edit: now I've started thinking about it again, I've changed the autostart script to call another which sleeps for 10s before xmodmap, which seems to have fixed the problem.
