turned out it was a build problem, did a clean rebuild and i ran into 
another problem:

this looks fine
     xkb_keycodes             { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
     xkb_types                { include "complete" };
     xkb_compatibility        { include "complete" };
     xkb_symbols              { include "pc/pc(pc105)+pc/dk" };
     xkb_geometry             { include "pc(pc105)" };

But when I press a key (with the exception of the number-pad (Num lock)) 
I get this message and nothing else:
RADEONHandleMessage(0, "KeyEventMessage", "-VMode", retmsg)

Any chance you know whats causing it?
