I had the same problem with my keyboard today. Don't know what's exactly the reason, but you can fix it by adding layouts manually. Read /etc/xkb/x11/README.config and edit keyboard section of /etc/x11/xorg.conf - add layouts and switches.
(I also deleted normal user account and directory and created it again before editing xorg.conf - don't know if it's necessary).
