Hi,

This works for me in FreeBSD 5.4. The comma in ',winkeys' is important.

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Keyboard0"
#	Driver      "kbd"
#	Identifier  "Keyboard1"
	Driver 	    "keyboard"
	Option      "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
	Option      "XkbRules" "xorg"
	Option      "XkbModel" "pc104"
	Option      "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
	Option      "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"
	Option      "XkbVariant" ",winkeys"
EndSection
