Ok, that's fine, it just overrides the builtin one then.

$_layout="auto" does not work if you don't have any read
permissions
to the Linux console. Nothing to do with global.conf I see.

This is a known problem (apart from the fact that for remote
X sessions it is wrong to query the console on the remote
machine): in the next version (it's in CVS now)
$_layout="auto" will query the X server about the keyboard
layout so in many cases it will no longer be necessary to
explicitly specify $_layout="us" etc.
