With a bit of googling I found this:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla....cgi?id=110933

In this thread, Thierry Lelegard explains how to construct a xmodmap
file to work around this problem.

I used his instructions to build a xmodmap file for XFree86 4.3 (or
above) with Finnish keyboard. It is just a quick hack: there are some
AltGr mappings that ought to have both upper-and lowercased versions,
but have only the lower case set up at the moment.

A quick test with xterm windows from HP-UX 11.00 and 11.11 displayed
on Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 was a success.

My xmodmap file is available at:
https://melchior.homelinux.net/xmodmap-compat-fi.txt

The ReflectionX might use a different set of keycodes, so my file may
not work for that.
