23 Works here (either in xorg.conf or in fdi files if let X use hal).
24 If you set up a keyboard layout in kde / gnome, it may be possible that
25 it resets the xkb options... though you seem to have the layout set in
26 xorg.conf, so that it seem improbable that you use the gnome/kde
27 layout configuration...
