The default keyboard layout for GRUB is us. Also, setupcon and udev sort out things *after* booting takes place. > >Does > > > > grep keymap /var/log/Xorg.0.log > > > >give anything? > nothing useful for me: There are no errors relating to being unable to find a keymap. Should this happen X falls back to using a us one. Looks like we can rule this out as a cause. If you had a .xsessionrc file in your home directory containing the line "setxkbmap us" this would account for what you see in an xterm. However, it does not explain what you get at the kdm login prompt. So you likely do not have such a file. I wonder whether xdm is affected in the same way as kdm?
