I've a problem with the keyboard layout detection.

fixme:keyboard:X11DRV_KEYBOARD_DetectLayout Your keyboard layout was not 
        found! Using closest match instead (Belgian keyboard layout) for 
        scancode mapping.

I looked in dlls/x11drv/keyboard.c and found that the "Belgian French" layout was 
exactly 
what should be used. 
My (105 keys) belgian keyboard has the pecularity that the "µ£`" is locate ON THE 
RIGHT of 
the RightShift key.

Here's what my keyboard layout looks like :

³  1   2   3   4  5  6  7  8  9   0   °  _  Back- 
²  &|  é@  "#  '  (  §^ è  !  ç{  à}  )  -  space

Tab A  Z  E   R  T  Y  U  I  O  P "   * 
           €                      ^[  $] 
                                            Enter 
Caps Q  S  D  F  G  H  J  K  L  M  % 
Lock                               ù'

Sh-  >  W  X  C  V  B  N  ?  .  /  +   Sh-  £ 
ift  <\                   ,  ;  :  =~  ift  µ`

Ctrl win1 alt     spacebar   AltGr win1 win2  Ctrl

If I try to launch notepad, the "exponents" key is treated as the "1" key. 
If I do "wine -debugmsg +key,+keyboard /win/windows/notepad.exe", I get the following 
messages (stripping the trace:key(board) prefix) :

I have (almost) the same problem with a german pc 105 keyboard layout. Starting nay  
app results in

fixme:keyboard:X11DRV_KEYBOARD_DetectLayout Your keyboard layout was not  
found!  
Using closest match instead (German keyboard layout without dead keys) for  
scancode mapping.

If it matters: I have XFree 4.3.0, qt 3.1.2, kde 3.1.1, kernel 2.4.20. Maybe it is a XFree  
4.3.0 issue? Older Wine together with Xfree 4.2.x worked fine. But I can not downgrade  
to find out, which of it causes the issue.

Here is the InputDevice section from XF86Config:  
Section "InputDevice"  
  Driver       "Keyboard"  
  Identifier   "Keyboard[0]"  
  Option       "MapName" "Standard Keyboard [ pc105 ]"  
  Option       "Protocol" "Standard"  
  Option       "XkbLayout" "de"  
  Option       "XkbModel" "pc105"  
  Option       "XkbRules" "xfree86"  
  Option       "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
