If you change that setting, it will get applied by "kbd -s" on reboot (when keymap:default starts). Then I think HAL picks up the setting: $ lshal | grep Layout input.x11_options.XkbLayout = 'fr' (string) and then X11 gets for its automatic configuration of X input from HAL. In the X logfile it can be seen that X gets info from "config/hal:" If I apply for example: # kbd -s Belgian USB keyboard # svcadm restart hal # lshal | grep Layout input.x11_options.XkbLayout = 'be' (string) So changing kbd to Belgian switches HAL (after a restart of HAL) to "be" and the lightdm greeter keyboard switches from "fr" to "be" for me. So my guess is that the preferred way to set the keyboard layout is: svccfg -s svc:/system/keymap:default <<EOF setprop keymap/layout = Belgian refresh EOF then either reboot or restart HAL and lightdm. However there may be settings in the lightdm.conf that override the SMF setting, I don't know that, but I think it works for me through the keymap:default SMF service.
