[SOLVED]How to change your X keyboardlayout?

Hello everyone.

I'll go straight to the core...
My problem is, that I can't change my layout in X (i'm danish, so the danish layout will do ),I have searched the net and the wiki/forums in here, but I just can't get to work

I'm including my xorg.conf and rc.conf (I hope it works...)

# CONSOLEFONT: found in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts (only needed for non-US)
# CONSOLEMAP: found in /usr/share/kbd/consoletrans
# USECOLOR: use ANSI color sequences in startup messages

EndSection

You have typos in this section. Try XkbLayout and XkbVariant.
