AFAIK, X11 doesn't use a `kbd' file. This is probably something for
another distribution.
You need to edit the file /etc/XF86Config (or /etc/XF86Config-4). Look
for lines like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Change the XkbLayout parameter to the keyboard you have.
(Alternatively, run xf86config to review all X11 settings.)
