Re: etch and several problems
I had the same problem with my keyboard today.
Don't know what's exactly the reason, but you can fix it by adding
layouts manually. Read /etc/xkb/x11/README.config and edit keyboard
section of /etc/x11/xorg.conf - add layouts and switches.
(I also deleted normal user account and directory and created it again
before editing xorg.conf - don't know if it's necessary).
Good luck,
Andrius
