Just in case someone'll be having a similar problem: The actual symbol files read by setxkbmap on OpenBSD 4.7 reside under "/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/", and therefor they should be edited if needed. There's also an issue with including other configs (including configs from "/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/" worked for me in case of "us" map and failed with "ru" map for some obscure reasons, so I had to copy entire layout into my "ru" map). Anyway, now everything works, problem is solved. -- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
