Try to change the above section (and restart gdm):
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
The "keyboard" driver has been superseded by "kdb" for a while; see the
remarks in /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-input-kbd/NEWS.Debian.gz. The
"xfree86" rules still exist as a legacy symlink, but it cannot hurt to
update the XkbRules line to "xorg" when you are editing the
configuration anyway.
If the new configuration does not solve your problem then I would like
to see the output of this command:
dpkg -l xkb\* x11-\* xserver-xorg-input\* libx11\* | awk '/^i/{print $1,$2,$3}'
