Wireless logitech keyboard - unable to set keyboard map in X.

Hi,

i have a wireless usb keyboard - logitech k360. When I restart X i always have to manually set keyboard layout using "setxkbmap pl" which is little annoying.
My laptop keyboard has polish layout set correctly. I tried to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/keyboard.conf, but cannot find the right options. Here's how it looks now:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier            "Keyboard Defaults"
    MatchIsKeyboard       "yes"
    Option 		  "XkbModel" "logii350"
    Option                "XkbLayout" "pl"
    Option                "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
 EndSection

I've tried to remove option XkbModel, tried to set it to pc105 and now it is set to logii350 (I've searched through the /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/ to find my exact keyboard model but it isn't there).
Funny thing is, that when I type some polish character at my laptop keyboard, suddenly wireless keyboard gets good layout.

Any thoughts?

Re: Wireless logitech keyboard - unable to set keyboard map in X.

Is this one with the Logitech Unifying Device receiver?

There are a few threads on this forum about it defaulting to the default QWERTY layout (hell, I have an AZERTY layout - not just as a locale, the key prints are AZERTY). It seems to be some udev bug.
