The default and recommended "no xorg.conf" setup doesn't play nice with keyboard layouts. You need to set one on your xorg.conf or another X.org init script. I love the idea that Xorg now just works (TM) without any configuration file, but it could generate something based on what it detected on the first time, or something. -- Claudio Roberto França Pereira
