Well, here is my InputDevice section for my french keyboard. The key
option to get everything working was "XkbKeycodes" "macintosh". You
may want to give this a try.

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mac Keyboard"
	Driver      "keyboard"
	Option      "CoreKeyboard"

	Option      "XkbKeycodes" "macintosh"
	Option      "XkbTypes" "default"
	Option      "XkbCompat" "default"
	Option      "XkbRules" "xfree86"
	Option      "XkbSymbols" "macintosh/fr_new"
	Option      "XkbGeometry" "macintosh"
EndSection
