XkbOptions in xorg.conf being ignored (F10)

I'm trying to get an xorg.conf to work in F10.  One of the stanzas
that was created by livna-config-display (yes, I'm using the nasty
closed-source nvidia driver :-)  is:

# Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display
<snip>
Section "InputDevice"
# keyboard added by rhpxl
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105+inet"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
        Option      "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"     # <== added by me
EndSection

The last line was added by me.

For some reason X, which I start with "startx", is ignoring the
XkbOptions.  I think this has something to do with the new "evdev"
driver stuff but I don't understand it well enough to know how to
proceed.  Would someone tell me the "fix"?  Or tell me what to provide
for help.  Thanks.

Dean.
