Setting dvorak,ru switching
So, I have no problem with this:
Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
But with this:
Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak,ru"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
my keyboard is unresponsive in X. Any ideas why?

Re: Setting dvorak,ru switching
From an xterm, does this command work for you `setxkbmap ru dvorak' ? This should be the equivilant "runtime" command to accomplish your goal. You might want to check your xorg option line's format though, I'm using us dvorak and my line is as follows:
Option "XkbLayout" "us dvorak"
Hope this helps.

Re: Setting dvorak,ru switching
No luck. Running 'setxkbmap dvorak' or `setxkbmap dvorak ru' gets me in dvorak, but I can't switch to ru. Running`setxkbmap ru dvorak' returns this error:
[~]$ setxkbmap ru dvorak

Re: Setting dvorak,ru switching
dvorak is a variant, not a layout.
For me I use layout: US variant: dvorak.

Re: Setting dvorak,ru switching
Depends, there is both a dvorak layout and a dvorak variant on all languages if i recall right. But since the keyboard is unresponsive in X i shall have to ask for your complete Xorg.conf to be of any help, the problem can be elsewhere.
