and when all is working as intended with evdev, you may want to add this to be 
able to write in both Polish and English:

Option "XkbLayout" "pl,us"
       Option "XkbOptions" 
"grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,compose:menu,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

The Alt+Shift will allow you to toggle between the two language keyboards in 
X.
