Problem with Keyboard Layout after upgrade to XFree86-4.4.0

[Parijat Mishra]

I am running XFree86-4.3.0 (on debian).  I have KDE stable compiled from 
source, and the keyboard laymout kcm module gives me a HUGE list of keyboard 
"models" for the US english layout.   I am using the "Dell" (-model dell) 
layout with  no grief.
