There's a section "Keyboard" in /etc/X11/XF86Config (or /etc/XF86Config,
the exact location depends on your distribution), you select the desired
keyboard this way:
XkbModel "pc102" # I have a 102 key keyboard, there are pc101,
# pc104, pc105 as well...
XkbLayout "de" # I have a German keyboard, you might want
# "se_SE" or if you're Finnish "se_FI", there's
# no generic "se" layout
XkbVariant "nodeadkeys" # I personally don't want to type ` + SPACE to
# get a backtick
Well, that's the "should work" way -- tell me if it works (I don't have a
Swedish keyboard to test). It should be less pain this way than with
xmodmap.
