Why does X (on Sarge) ignore my keyboard selection?

I've just done a fresh Sarge installation with XFree86 4.3.0. All seems
well except for the fact that it insists on behaving as if I had an
American keyboard, even though I have set it for a UK keyboard.
I originally had the following for my keyboard clause, which works on
all my other similar boxes.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
On the advice of several people I've tried variations and I now have:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "en-GB"
Option "XkbVariant" "gb"
EndSection
but the effect is exactly the same - American keyboard layout.
Examining the log file I can see it's definitely using this file
and seeing the clauses, but it just seems to be ignoring them. Can
anyone suggest why this might be please?
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4"
(==) ServerLayout "Default Layout"
(**) |-->Screen "Default Screen" (0)
(**) | |-->Monitor "Generic Monitor"
(**) | |-->Device "Generic Video Card"
(**) |-->Input Device "Generic Keyboard"
(**) Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
(**) XKB: rules: "xfree86"
(**) Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
(**) XKB: model: "pc105"
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "en-GB"
(**) XKB: layout: "en-GB"
(**) Option "XkbVariant" "gb"
(**) XKB: variant: "gb"
(==) Keyboard: CustomKeycode disabled
(**) |-->Input Device "Configured Mouse"
(**) |-->Input Device "Generic Mouse"
TIA,
John
