Now I have in my xorg.conf file this:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us,cz"
        #Option      "XkbVariant" ",qwerty"
EndSection

After restart Xorg and xfce is in switcher still only us. My version Xorg is xorg-6.9.0. Xfce4 has version 4.2.3.2 and xfce4-xkb-plugin is 0.3.3. I have freebsd version 6.1. Distro is some package? I don't know, what is it.

Thank you for your help with it
