This  is what I have in my XF86Config:
Section "Keyboard"
   Protocol        "Standard"
   AutoRepeat      300 45
   LeftAlt         Meta
   RightAlt        Meta
   ScrollLock      Compose
   RightCtl        Control
   XkbKeycodes     "xfree86"
   XkbTypes        "default"
   XkbCompat       "default"
   XkbSymbols      "us(pc101)+dvorak"
   XkbGeometry     "pc"
   XkbRules        "xfree86"
   XkbModel        "dvorak"
   XkbLayout       "us"
EndSection

It works except the = and ] keys are transposed!  I have no idea hov to
fix that.

Good Luck!
