                          I have installed a recent version of void linux on a Fujitsu Lifebook E751.

- uname -a results in 4.12.11_1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 8 20:17:18 UTC 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
- Xorg version is 1.19.3, Protocol Ver. 11

After installations I had a us keyboard mapping. This is driving me nuts, hence I tried to change it by writing several variants of a /etc/X11/xorg.conf. None worked. 

After consulting google several times I followed the official Xorg guide. I concocted this configuration:

    Section "InputClass"
	    Identifier "system-keyboard"
	    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
	    Option "XkbLayout" "neo"
	    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    EndSection

But despite all efforts, the problem stays the same. I get 

    (EE) Error loading keymap /var/lib/xkb/server-0.xkm
    (EE) XKB: Failed to load keymap. Loading default keymap instead.

In the end the US-keyboard is loaded. 
This is driving me totally nuts!
