*** Test Case ***
Start Xorg server with either no xorg.conf or an xorg.conf in which the keyboard
layout is not specified, and when the keyboard is one of these keyboards:
 - a Sun Type 6 or 7 keyboard of a non-US layout
 - another brand keyboard set to a non-US layout via kbd -s

Verify that Xorg correctly detects and sets the keyboard layout to the desired
layout (this should be reported near the end of /var/log/Xorg.0.log as well
as verifiable through pressing keys that differ in definition from the standard
US layout, such as y & z on a French keyboard).

Install an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (generate with Xorg -configure if needed)
that includes a keyboard section with the appropriate layout setting, such as
this one for British keyboards:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier		"Keyboard0"
	Driver			"kbd"
	Option "XkbRules"	"xorg"
	Option "XkbModel"	"pc105"
	Option "XkbLayout"	"gb"
EndSection
