Hello,
Thank you for your response.

I forgot to explain that I do not start X manually with startx
command. It is started on boot time by adding the following line in
/etc/ttys:
ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure
I think that in this case ~/.xinitrc is not called.

I googled a little bit about localizing FreeBSD and found that one can
configure it in xorg.conf. In my case I add the following setting in
the Keyboard section:
Option "XkbLayout" "us,bg"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
Option "XkbVariant" ",phonetic"
Regards
Ivan
