Hi, I'm using a macbook pro santa rosa 15", azerty keyboard but with dvorak layout.

 * At work i have an external monitor (vga, attached to the nvidia card) and external mac azerty keyboard attached through usb (alhough i always want to type in dvorak no matter the keyboard)
 * At home i use the laptop without extra screen or keyboard.

At work all is fine, my keyboard works great (and in dvorak).
But at home - without the usb keyboard - the login screen is in dvorak, but after logging in the keyboard layout is really weird (and not just azerty or querty) : most of the buttons don't even do anything, and buttons like h and t (in dvorak, j and k in azerty) produce characters like 2 and 1 .

This is like this for a few days : broken at home , at work no problem at all. Yesterday i tried selecting 'gnome session' and 'failsafe gnome' instead of the default session but got exactly the same behavior. At some point I even got an error message asking me to report some things but I could'nt type anything so....

So today, at work again I boot again with usb keyboard and I get "Error activating XKB configuration.", asking me to post the output of 2 commands (see below)
