[gentoo-user] setxkbmap does not work after upgrading to KDE4

After upgrading to KDE4 the other day my keyboard mapping stopped working. I 
traced it back to setxkbmap. Manually entering setxkbmap (with extra 
verbosity) gives the following:

$ setxkbmap -model logicd -layout ch -variant de_nodeadkeys -v 10
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard model
         Using command line, ignoring X server
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout
         Using command line, ignoring X server
Applied rules from evdev:
model:      logicd
layout:     ch
variant:    de_nodeadkeys
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes:   evdev+aliases(qwerty)
types:      complete
compat:     complete
symbols:    pc+ch(de_nodeadkeys)+inet(evdev)
geometry:   pc(pc104)
Error loading new keyboard description

Any suggestion on what could be wrong?

Just an update... The problem was not with the KDE3.5 -> KDE4.3.1 but with 
with my Xorg setup. After googling a bit and finally change my content of 
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-use-ch-layout.fdi to the right values it's almost 
working 100% (I'll open a new thread on my remaining problem).
