With xmodmap :
I configure the keyboard on my Desktop PC and run xmodmad -pke > 
keys-on-pc.txt
and also run xmodmad -pke > keys-on-neo.txt on my neo.
Then I put some info from keys-on-pc.txt to keys-on-neo.txt and create a 
modified version of keys-on-neo.txt
So when I plug the external keyboard I run xmodmad keys-on-neo-modified.txt.
If I put keys-on-pc.txt directly on Neo I have problems with some keys ( 
arrows )

Saludos , Jorge
