For the X keyboard settings, you can use "setxkbmap". Just add the
correct command to your .xinitrc. I'm using a interchangable layout with
"caps lock" key for spanish/english keyboard but you can change the
layouts to your needs.
- Search the correct layouts in /usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst
- Add to your .xinitrc:
- If you only need one layout: setxkbmap -layout "es"
- If you need various variants: setxkbmap -layout "es, us" -variant
", altgr-intl" -option "grp:caps_toggle"
You also can use the file xorg.conf for the settings but with
setxkbmap+xinitrc each user can have a different config. The XFCE
configuration tool is a frontend for the Xorg options.

I can't help with wscons config.
