I for one am totally baffled that you all "just can go".
My ~/.xinitrc is (in parts)

  if command -v setxkbmap >/dev/null 2>&1; then
     if [ -f ~/.${HOSTNAME}.xkbmap ]; then
        setxkbmap `cat ~/.${HOSTNAME}.xkbmap`
     elif [ -f ~/.xkbmap ]; then
        setxkbmap `cat ~/.xkbmap`
     fi
  fi
  if command -v xmodmap >/dev/null 2>&1; then
     [ -f ~/.xmodmaprc ] && xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
     [ -f ~/.${HOSTNAME}.xmodmaprc ] && xmodmap ~/.${HOSTNAME}.xmodmaprc
  fi

  if command -v xrdb >/dev/null 2>&1; then
     [ -f ~/.Xdefaults ] && xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults
     [ -f ~/.${HOSTNAME}.Xdefaults ] && xrdb -merge ~/.${HOSTNAME}.Xdefaults
  fi

and i (i think ever) had to _have_ those (former being
'de(nodeadkeys)', the middle one too long to paste, but also works
around the "g" key of that Lenovo notebook ever since that stopped
working).
