GDM messes up mouse control

Hello,

I'm new to archlinux and almost everything is working nicely. The only problem i have right now is with gdm.
At the login the keyboard layout is "us" but i need "de". I searched the wiki and found out that i have to disable xorg's
auto driver loading.
I did that and changed the layout to "de" but it stays "us" and the mouse wheel now only scrolls horizonally.
When doing a startx everything works fine. The problems only exist with gdm.

This is my xorg configuration:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Default Layout"
    Screen          0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Generic Keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Mouse0"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option         "Buttons" "5"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Generic Keyboard"
    Driver         "kbd"
    Option         "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option         "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option         "XkbLayout" "de"
    Option         "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

Re: GDM messes up mouse control

Does no one have an idea how to fix the problem?

Mouse and Keyboard work perfektly with startx but not with gdm. When using gdm the mouse wheel doesn'n work anymore and the keyboard layout is "us" insted of "de".

I tried hundreds of Option combinations but none works. This is what i'm using right now:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Default Layout"
    Screen          0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Generic Keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier    "Generic Keyboard"
    Driver        "kbd"
    Option        "XkbRules"    "xorg"
    Option        "XkbModel"    "pc105"
    Option        "XkbLayout"    "de"
    Option        "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Mouse0"
    Driver         "evdev"
    Option         "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5"
    Option         "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB-PS_2_Optical_Mouse-event-mouse"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option         "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection

Thanks in advance
