Me too.

Correct: /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd

Here's mine:

layouts          []
model
options          []
overrideSettings FALSE

Yes, the model is empty and other two just have '[]'.

Isn't xorg supposed to have 'kdb' for new keyboard driver or I have it  
opposite? Anyway, here's mine:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Keyboard0"
	Driver      "kbd"
	Option	    "XkbRules"  "xorg"
	Option	    "XkbModel"  "pc104"
	Option	    "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Cheers,
Mezz
