** Description changed:

  Hi, I'm using a macbook pro santa rosa 15", azerty keyboard but with
  dvorak layout.
  
   * At work i have an external monitor (vga, attached to the nvidia card) and 
external mac azerty keyboard attached through usb (alhough i always want to 
type in dvorak no matter the keyboard)
   * At home i use the laptop without extra screen or keyboard.
  
  At work all is fine, my keyboard works great (and in dvorak).
  But at home - without the usb keyboard - the login screen is in dvorak, but 
after logging in the keyboard layout is really weird (and not just azerty or 
querty) : most of the buttons don't even do anything, and buttons like h and t 
(in dvorak, j and k in azerty) produce characters like 2 and 1 .
  
  This is like this for a few days : broken at home , at work no problem
  at all.  Yesterday i tried selecting 'gnome session' and 'failsafe
  gnome' instead of the default session but got exactly the same behavior.
  At  some point I even got an error message asking me to report some
  things but I could'nt type anything so....
  
  So today, at work again I boot again with usb keyboard and I get "Error
  activating XKB configuration.", asking me to post the output of 2
  commands (see below)
