How do I configure Keyboard layouts using XMonad as my Window Manager?

So Ubuntu has moved to HAL, and commented out the keyboard section in xorg.conf. So how do I configure keyboard layouts now?

UPD: I'm using XMonad as my window manager, so I need a way to configure layouts that works outside GNOME too.

UPD: Editing xorg.conf does not work, here's the relevant section from mine:

Section "InputDevice"



    # generated from default

    Identifier     "Keyboard0"

    Driver         "kbd"

    Option         "XkbLayout" "us,ru"

    Option         "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle, caps:ctrl_modifier, compose:sclk, terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp, grp_led:scroll"

This ended up working:

Section "InputClass"

    Identifier      "KeyboardLayout"

    Driver          "evdev"

    MatchIsKeyboard "yes"

    Option          "XkbLayout" "us,ru"

    Option          "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,caps:ctrl_modifier,compose:sclk,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp_led:scroll"
