Maybe X doesn't know about a matching variant? As far as I remember, the kbdtype/wscons is only used as a hint to find a matching X layout. I have no idea about the current situation - To make zero conf X useable for me, I created a patch in 2008 to derive the X keyboard layout from wscons. I use "de.nodead" so it did work with a single variant. Since the initial patch, that I didn't commit myself to keep my X commit count low, the driver has been changed many times and the feature has eventually been moved to a new wscons hotplug driver: http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/xenocara/driver/xf86-input-keyboard/src/bsd_kbd.c Reyk
