I had to manually edit my xorg.conf to make the InputDevice section look
like the following:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
# Driver "kbd"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
The commented Driver line appeared to be the problem, changing it to
"keyboard" sorted that out, and then it was determining the type of
layout I had.
