I added the following to my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "Xkbvariant" ""
EndSection


Now I'm getting these errors in my Xorg.log:

(EE) Error compiling keymap (server-0)
(EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
(WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap

...

(**) Option "CoreKeyboard"
(**) Keyboard0: always reports core events
(**) Option "Protocol" "standard"

(**) Keyboard0: XkbRules: "xorg"
(**) Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbModel: "pc105"
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "us"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbLayout: "us"
(WW) Option "XkbVariant" requires an string value
(**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off"
(**) Keyboard0: CustomKeycodes disabled

...

(EE) Error compiling keymap (server-0)

I tried manually:

setxkbmap -v 10 -rules xorg -model pc104 -layout us -option ""


Here's the output:

This is what I originally did you get my Xorg:

I used Xorg's "build-from-tarballs.sh" script to build Xorg and
install it to a custom prefix.  I removed all debian Xorg packages and
pointed everything to my custom X install.

That seemed like enough to get everything working.  I guess there is
additional configuration needed for xkbd.

I should probably take this to an Xorg list.
