This indicates that these entries in the configfile are not
written with quotation marks. eg 

	Option "XkbVariant" = "nodeadkeys"

Either this is a broken installation where some files in /etc/X11/xkb
are not properly installed or Solaris calls xkbcomp with wrong values.

Btw: The keyboard layout for the U.K. is called gb. I'm not sure
if uk means something else, but IÄve found no other definition in the
Cygwin/X distribution.
