Subject:   Getting X to recognise a UK keyboard

I have this Compaq Internet keyboard, UK version. The system knows it's a
UK keyboard at the console, but X doesn't seem to have a clue and keys give
their UK characters.

Here's the keyboard bits from XF86Config:

    Identifier  "Keyboard1"
    Driver      "Keyboard"
    Option "XkbRules"   "xfree86"
    Option "XkbModel"   "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout"  "gb"

Changing "pc105" to "compaq" does nothing either.

So, what can I do to get it to behave? Short of messing with Xmodmap or
something.
