Sounds like something is still using the xorg xkb rules instead of
evdev.  What desktop environment are you using?  Do you have any custom
session startup scripts, or .xmodmap?  Does 'setxkbmap -rules evdev'
make things work correctly?  The X log from a broken session might help,
too (it may make sense to open a separate bug for your issues, though,
to not clutter the existing barely related report).

Cheers,
