The module collects all the information about the available layouts from the following file: /usr/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.xml. Actully with the modern Xorg server this file should be xorg.xml. But for the compatibility I use xfree86.xml. Maybe I have to use the following file /etc/X11/xkb/xfree86.xml ? Please check if u have this file. And please let me know.
