Should it be "xkb_layout"? This works for me in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/keyboard"
Driver "evdev"
Option "xkb_layout" "gb"
EndSection
(I use custom udev rules to make a symlink, /dev/input/keyboard, that
points at the actual keyboard device.)
