all I can see in xorg.conf is :-
Section "InputDevice"
     Identifier "Keyboard1"
     Driver "kbd"
     Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
     Option "XkbLayout" "en_US"
     Option "XkbOptions" ""
EndSection

are you referring to /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg ? It runs for 40 kb.
can you post your files that fixed this ?
I'm lost among all the parameter files.
