Your keyboard section works when I put it in my xorg.conf. I get the US
keyboard layout, CTRL and CAPSLOCK are switched and ALT + SHIFT toggles
between US and GB layout. (I checked the last point with SHIFT + 3,
which produces "#" or "£" depending on the layout.)
I don't see any keyboard-related error messages or warnings in my Xorg
log; setxkbmap works normally, too:
$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include
"pc+us+gb:2+group(alt_shift_toggle)+ctrl(swapcaps)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
};
Maybe we should compare the versions of xkb-related packages and
dependencies. Here is what I have:
$ aptitude -F '%p%30v' search
