I tried this, and it didnt work. When i reconfigure it again i get the
same options that i selected before, so it seems to be writing to
_some_ config file, but when i look into XFree86Config-4 there is
still us keymap set. I just changed it in the config file and it works
now for me. But there seems to be some kind of bug left somewhere ;)
