Is it possible to configure X keyboard in F18?

[Sergio]

Hi.
F18 has deprecated /etc/sysconfig/keyboard but either there's no way to configure the X keymap (bug) or I haven't found yet.

In a post a few days ago it was said that /etc/vconsole.conf would replace it but X fails to set the keyboard from there.

$ cat /etc/vconsole.conf 
FONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
KEYMAP="br-abnt2"

$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
{snip}
[   599.674] (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
[   599.674] (**) Option "xkb_model" "evdev"
[   599.674] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us"
{snip}

So it sets the 'us' keymap and thus this is the keymap active in the login window (lightdm here).

I tried with
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf 

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Keyboard0"
    Driver         "keyboard"
    Option         "XkbLayout" "br"
    Option         "XkbModel" "abnt2"
EndSection

But it doesn't work (I tried changing driver name, adding the ServerLayout section etc.).

See X log from F17 with /etc/sysconfig/keyboard:

$ cat /var/log/Xorg.1.log
{snip}
[  4690.573] (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
[  4690.573] (**) Option "xkb_model" "abnt2"
[  4690.573] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "br"
[  4690.573] (**) Option "xkb_options" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,"
{snip}

note: I'm using the NVIDIA driver from rpmfusion. Maybe it would work with the kernel driver (nouveau; I mention it as it seems it's more integrated yet than before) but still X should configure the keyboard properly regardless of the video driver used.
