InputDevice section from my xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
...
    Option         "XkbRules" "xfree86"
    Option         "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option         "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
    Option         "XkbVariant" "ru"
    Option         "XkbOptions" "grp:rctrl_rshift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
EndSection

Also i use xxkb for switching layout.
