check that you have xbase-clients installed. I had a keyboard problem when upgrading from 3.3.6 to 4.0 on an Intel. backspace sudenly stoped working. Well, actually it worked as Del, which is anoying. When I went to check the error messages it complained about not being able to load XKB map same as you, but in a line before that it complained about not finding xkbcomp, which, I later found out, comes with xbase-clients, so you might want to check that.
