I just read the config files and man XF86Config. Add the following
to the Keyboard section of XF86Config:
XkbRules "xfree86"
XkbModel "microsoft"
XkbLayout "us"
XkbOptions "ctrl:swapcaps"
If you want the control keys _and_ caps lock to both do control, use
"ctrl:nocaps". All possible values for the above are listed in
/usr/X11/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86
This is the "proper" way to fix the control keys with XFree 3.2.
