I am also a Linux user and it is also on laptop. I use Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn but it should be the same.
First you need to know what key you want to remap. I want to map these:

d -> Left
f -> Down
j -> Up
k -> Right

Fire up gnome-terminal and type in xmodmap -pke | less
You should see output like this:

keycode  40 = d D
keycode  41 = f F
keycode  42 = g G
keycode  43 = h H
keycode  44 = j J
keycode  45 = k K

You need these keycodes and keysyms. Now I know that:
d = 40 = d
f = 41 = f
j = 44 = j
k = 45 = k

Open up your favorite text editor and then type in this code:

# Remap keycode to Left Down Up Right
xmodmap -e "keycode 40 = Left"
xmodmap -e "keycode 41 = Down"
xmodmap -e "keycode 44 = Up"
xmodmap -e "keycode 45 = Right"

# Wait for press enter
echo "Press enter to remap map it back"
read TEMPNOTHINGHAHA

# Remap the keycode back to original keysym
xmodmap -e "keycode 40 = d D"
xmodmap -e "keycode 41 = f F"
xmodmap -e "keycode 44 = j J"
xmodmap -e "keycode 45 = k K"

Save it with this name: "~/remapffr"

Now whenever you want to remap the keys just open the terminal and say
sh ~/remapffr

Now the keys should be remapped. Whenever you want to map the keys back you just go back to terminal and press "enter".

Warning: May break keyboard layouts! Use it at your own risk!

Thank you much, I ended up breaking my keyboard settings as you warned but it was easily fixed after resetting it to the default qwerty config.

Any key mapping techniques for Mac OS X? I'm using a Macbook Pro, which has absolutely tiny arrow keys, which are now holding me back on some songs..

Perhaps you should edit out the giant red print that says otherwise.

[jimerax]

I don't care much, but moved them right above "R1 only" codes.

You are allowed to bump stickies. Just ask a mod or admin to delete this.

[Izzy]

What the mods need to do is put away irrelevant or old stickys that don't apply anymore.

[jimerax]

I'm sure some people still use some of these, but this isn't needed to be a sticky anymore.
