Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xfree86"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "macintosh"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "fi"
EndSection

It looks the same, but produces an incorrect and incomplete keyboard map that
lacks deadkeys and has the meta keys in the wrong places.
