This is my working configuration of the Czech keyboard with Xorg from
unstable (upgraded yesterday -- which made other interesting things happen,
but nothing about the keyboard; line broken for this email):
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "cz,us"
Option "XkbOptions" "compose:caps,\
ctrl:ctrl_aa,lv3:ralt_switch,\
grp_led:scroll,grp:shifts_toggle"
Option "XkbVariant" "qwerty,"
EndSection
(KDE keyboard is switched off)
Enjoy!

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its
victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live
under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The
robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at
some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own
good will torment us without end, for they do so with the
approval of their consciences.
