 I upgraded xserver-xorg today to sids 1:7.4+1 and my keyboard layout is

 /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg/NEWS.Debian.gz sais
 
   The default keyboard layout is shared with the console and is
   configured in /etc/default/console-setup.
 
 However, my /etc/default/console-setup correctly sais
 
   XKBLAYOUT=de
 
 And this is what is used on ttys outside X11.
 
 Yet, in X11 (which I start via startx) it is not de.
 
 Could someone please point me in the direction I need to look into?
 
 Thanks

I had a similar problem following the upgrade - us keyboard instead of
gb. That has now gone away after a reboot. But I can no longer quit X
with Ctrl-Alt-Del and there are other issues with xmodmap as well.

This is in addition to a jerky display on fullscreen TV, which I
ascribed, perhaps wrongly, to radeon.

 Try rebooting - worked for me.

Thanks, a reboot fixed it.
Feels dirty though :)

Should've been Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and that's been something changed
upstream. Should be restorable with something like:
Section ServerFlags
Option DontZap false
EndSection

With the xmodmap stuff I'm still fighting (and the now borked intel driver
acceleration). Currently my old configuration is braking my left cursor key.

Regarding the xmodmap issue it looks like some keycodes have changed.
For me the left alt key moved from keycode 113 (which is now the left
cursor key) to 108. xev is your friend to maybe find out similar
rotations.

Yes, I meant ctrl-alt-backspace. That is livable with; the worst feature
is the jerky TV in fullscreen, which I mentioned earlier in a previous
thread.

As regards xmodmap, I simply stopped using my .modmap file. The arrow
keys then work as expected. The main thing I need is to disable Caps
Lock, and I put a command to do that in .xinitrc.
