It's not working on my desktop ( bog standard uk keybord) nor my laptop.

It works for me. Here's the relevant chunk of my XF86Config
Code:

Section "InputDevice"

    Identifier  "Keyboard1"
    Driver      "Keyboard"
# lots of stuff omitted ....
    Option "XkbOptions"  "ctrl:swapcaps"

Is that what you have? If you can't get it to working, check out xmodmap, which lets you do the same thing. There's a web page somewhere with very explicit instructions.
