My 'xorg.conf' keyboard section (UK based) follows
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "gb"
EndSection

The main differences are the Driver "Keyboard" not "kbd" and the "XkbRules"
option being "xorg" and not "xfree86".  Could try changing these and see
what happens.

If this doesn't help, have a look in /var/log/Xorg.log for any rows
beginning (EE) or (WW) relating to the keyboard options.
