Hi Vincent,
I cannot fully agree with your statement - propably because I did a "copy &
paste" from my old SuSE box.
I am using the following setup with Sarge & a German keyboard since month:
*************************************************************************
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbKeycodes" "sun(type5_euro)"
Option "XkbModel" "type5_euro"
Option "XkbGeometry" "sun(type5euro)"
Option "XkbSymbols" "sun/us(sun5)+de(nodeadkeys)"
Option "XkbRules" "sun"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
*************************************************************************
And I read from XFree.log:
*************************************************************************
(**) Option "XkbKeycodes" "sun(type5_euro)"
(**) XKB: keycodes: "sun(type5_euro)"
(**) Option "XkbGeometry" "sun(type5euro)"
(**) XKB: geometry: "sun(type5euro)"
(**) Option "XkbSymbols" "sun/us(sun5)+de(nodeadkeys)"
(**) XKB: symbols: "sun/us(sun5)+de(nodeadkeys)"
(**) Option "XkbRules" "sun"
(**) XKB: rules: "sun"
(**) Option "XkbModel" "type5_euro"
(**) XKB: model: "type5_euro"
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "us"
(**) XKB: layout: "us"
*************************************************************************
xkeycaps shows correct assignments of all keys. The only need I can see is to
assign functions to pins (i. e. make the machine shutdown when pressing the
power button if you want that to happen). Because I did not see big use of this
so far I simply did not implement that.
Take care

Try without the Xkb[...] options. The keyboard should surprisingly work,
