I was thinking that it take forever but actually it take very long and
at the  and it shut down de PC Box. I get finally a xorg.conf.new file.

I used 'Xorg -configure :1' command on an xterm when I'm on my running
XWindow.

Yes, but did you tryed more than one XkbLayout, like eg.: "es,fr"?
In my /etc/X11/xorg.conf I have now:
***
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "hu,hr,cs"
        Option      "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection
***

but it doesn't works. :( On Debian Lenny this setup just works and I can
there us fookb-wmaker successfully.

I have now in my /etc/default/keyboard the following:
***
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="hu,hr,cs"
XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys"
XKBOPTIONS=""
***

and I run 'sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart' and restart the hald but
fookb-wmaker still doesn't works.
