Nothing special.  It allows you to load a different keymap (overide the
default configured settings) at runtime.  (Try "man setxkbmap" for more)
But with this option ( -v = verbose, 10 = highest output level ), it does
not change anything but load the keymap as configured in your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file (I think).

Strange...  Does it still work after a reboot ?

Glad to see the problem seems solved for you.  But I don't think I'm
for something here (or it's just by chance.)
