Which version of SuSE? I had such issue with versions 9.x and 10.0. I
eventually disabled layouts in KDE and edited xorg.conf manually and
it worked. But in 10.2 it works fine for me. Also it looked like some
of layouts were not properly translated (there were messages in
Xorg.log that some of keyboard files were not found, do not remember
exactly which). So I needed to play with keyboard type. (But Generic
104-key worked, if I remember correctly).

This is a section from my current xorg.conf (10.2), switching with
left or right "Win" key.

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