Changed the  file to read:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
   <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
     <match key="info.product" string="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard">
      <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
      <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbRules" type="string">evdev</merge>
      <merge key="input.x11_XkbModel" type="string">jp106</merge>
      <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">jp</merge>
      <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbModel" type="string">jp106</merge>
     </match>
     <match key="info.product" string="Chicony Compaq Internet Keyboard">
      <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
      <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbRules" type="string">evdev</merge>
      <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">gb</merge>
     </match>
   </match>
</deviceinfo>

and now I get the following in Xorg.0.log

(II) config/hal: Adding input device Chicony Compaq Internet Keyboard
(**) Chicony Compaq Internet Keyboard: always reports core events
(**) Chicony Compaq Internet Keyboard: Device: "/dev/input/event4"
(II) Chicony Compaq Internet Keyboard: Found keys
(II) Chicony Compaq Internet Keyboard: Configuring as keyboard
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Chicony Compaq Internet
Keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD)
(**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
(**) Option "xkb_model" "evdev"
(**) Option "xkb_layout" "gb"

and shift-3 gives "£"

Cheers

Stu
