1)
Yes does work but is against  advice  given  by Marcus Clarke and others
where they say that the line :

        Option      "XkbRules"  "xfree86"
is to be replaced by

        Option      "XkbRules"  "xorg"
or deleted.

     I noticed  That  /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xkb   seems to be  the old  xfree86  directory and
does not contain any references to Xorg.

2)
With the above in /etc/x11/xorg.conf
I get an error message from GNOME startup that says:

----------------
Error activating XKB configuration.
Probably internal X server problem.

X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
60700000

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
----------------



capella# xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "se", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "se", "", ""
capella# gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
  layouts = [us]
  model = pc105
  overrideSettings = false
  options = []
