my x11-misc/xkeyboard-config is 1.1, I think it provides evdev rules.

Well, mine prints:
xkb_keymap {
		xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)"	};
		xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
		xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
		xkb_symbols   { include "pc+pl+inet(evdev)+altwin(menu)" };
		xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"	};
};

And when hal useflag is set for xorg-server and xinit, settings in fdi
file override those in xorg.conf. But just to make sure, your .xsession
would be welcome.
