Comment 10 for bug 94549

I tried following your steps, but with those I was also unable to reproduce the problem. However, during step 1 (using r-m to disable the the driver), r-m told me it would not alter my xorg.conf since I had manually modified it. I used the command it gave to reset the file (dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg), and that changed the keyboard layout to us. (It prompts for video driver and resolution, and accepts those, but perhaps something similar is being called from within r-m?)

I continued with the steps, setting the xorg.conf up properly then using r-m to enable the driver, but the problem did not occur this time. I have tried doing everything several more times, but both r-m and dpkg-reconfigure seem to behave themselves now, and I am now unable to reproduce the problem at all.
