If you had to say I Obey., then it's X4.01, else it's X3.3.6 - and they
are different!

Here's the section from my XFree 4 config file, which gives me a UK
keyboard:

------ include ----
Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "XFree86 Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
[snip]
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "keyboard"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc101"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
[snip]
------ end include -----
