setxkbmap doesn't work after upgrade
 
So, against my better judgment I let my (K)Ubuntu upgrade itself to Jaunty. I use kxkb to configure my keyboard; but now the keyboard switching key changes the little icon in the system tray, but not the layout itself. Moreover, when I try to set the keyboard manually, I get

Code:

fedya@chameleon:/etc/X11$ setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout ca,us,ru -variant eng,intl,basic
Error loading new keyboard description

(with or without sudoing)

One thing that has changed is xorg.conf, this being the possibly relevant portion:
Code:

# commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used
#Section "InputDevice"
#        Identifier        "Generic Keyboard"
#        Driver                "kbd"
#        Option                "XkbRules"        "xorg"
#        Option                "XkbModel"        "pc105"
#        Option                "XkbLayout"        "us"
#        Option                "XkbVariant"        "alt-intl"
#        Option                "XkbOptions"        "lv3:ralt_switch"
#EndSection

But I have no idea what I need to do...
