Hmmm, seems to be a Problem with evdev.
If I configure the device "by hand" with


Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "kbd"
  Identifier   "Keyboard[0]"
  Option       "Protocol" "Standard"
  Option       "XkbLayout" "de"
  Option       "XkbModel" "microsoftpro"
  Option       "XkbRules" "xfree86"
  Option       "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
  # Option     "XKbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps,srvrkeys:none,lv3:ralt_switch"
EndSection

and disable the evdev for the keyboard...then the layout is german.

Daniel
