>Description:
Modular Xorg doesn't install any keymaps and/or layouts. Attached shar containing the port should be a replacement for the now depricated xkbdata port.

Xorg complains with a "(WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to a pre-XKB keymap". The GNOME keyboard preference applet complains too and ctrl-alt-Fn doesn't work anymore without proper keymaps. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Install modular Xorg on a clean system.
>Fix:
Install attached xkeyboard-config. 

According to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4461 and http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-modular/2005-November/000828.html modular Xorg is moving towards xkeyboard-config anyway.
