That works perfectly fine for me too.
This also works for German (de instead of be), although xkbcomp issued many warnings about missing keycodes (possibly due to the laptop keyboard, having less keys). But how can one make de.xkm the default, without having to specify -xkbmap de each time? According to /etc/X11/xkm/README, I tried copying de.xkm to /etc/X11/xkb/X0-default.xkm or /etc/X11/xkb/compiled/X0-default.xkm, but without success. (Of course, I first made the missing symlink /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb -> /etc/X11/xkb, removed the looping symlink /etc/X11/xkb/compiled and made this a real directory.)
