Maybe your XF86Config file has the wrong keyboard in it.
It has various options:
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc101"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbVariant" ""
Option "XKbOptions" ""
Option "XkbKeycodes" "xfree86"
Option "XkbTypes" "basic+pc"
Option "XkbSymbols" "us(pc102)"
Option "XkbGeometry" "pc(pc102)"
Option "XkbCompat" "basic"
