Are you sure this is right? My rc.conf has:

keymap=3D"uk.iso"

ie, no '.kbd' file ending, which is implied.

Mouse? I thought you were talking about keyboard!

To get the correct keymap in X from hal, you need to add a policy
file, exactly as described in the handbook. Possibly you didn't have
hal enabled in earlier X builds, but if you want it to work with hal,
you need the policy file.
