Sorry, I should have sent you full text.
You have to specify all layouts here. I've found my old xorg.conf from
10.0 (do you want 9.1 by chance? I have found it too :-) )

Section "InputDevice"
 Driver       "kbd"
 Identifier   "Keyboard[0]"
 Option       "Protocol" "Standard"
 Option       "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
 Option       "XkbModel" "pc104"
 Option       "XkbOptions" "grp:lwin_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
 Option       "XkbRules" "xfree86"
 Option       "XkbVariant" "xfree86"
EndSection

Add Armenian after ru (like "us,ru,am")
And in KDE I disabled keyboard layouts.

I do not remember how exactly it looked in 10.0. There is some tab (in
10.2 it is called "options") it which you can 'tick' the proper
combination. I have one box with 10.0 in the office, I'll check it out
after weekend (if we still fail to find out how to configure it :-( ).

I also remember that on 10.0 it took me some time before it started
working. I've chosen something like pc105-international model and
nothing worked. Then I noticed in  /var/log/Xorg.log message that this
keyboard model is not compiled or something like that. I played with
models and eventually found that pc104 worked. Fortunately, you have
it already.
