There's a Section "Keyboard" in /etc/X11/XF86Config. If you can figure out how to specify the keyboard settings in that file, I would expect them to apply the next time you use startx.

Your help pointed me in the right direction.
Adding the dvorak option to the "InputDevice" section did the trick.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak"
EndSectionThanks, Ralph
