There is a file /etc/sysconfig/keybord which says:
[adler@cowpc->/etc/sysconfig] 27) more keyboard
KEYTABLE="/usr/lib/kbd/keytables/us.map"
 for Us keytable and
[adler@cowpc->/etc/sysconfig] 28) more keyboard.de
KEYTABLE="/usr/lib/kbd/keytables/de-latin1.map"
 for the german latin1 map

BUT if you're using X the keyboard layout is defined in XF86Config. There
are , I belive some different ways to define it (depending on the
configuration program which was used to generate XF86Config) but here is
mine, using xkb:

Section "Keyboard"
   Protocol        "Standard"
   AutoRepeat      500 30
   LeftAlt         Meta
   RightAlt        Meta
   ScrollLock      Compose
   RightCtl        Control
   XkbKeycodes     "xfree86"
   XkbTypes        "default"
   XkbCompat       "default"
   XkbSymbols      "us(pc101)"
   XkbGeometry     "pc"
   XkbRules        "xfree86"
   XkbModel        "pc101"
   XkbLayout       "us"
EndSection

you would have to alter the "us" entry ( "de" for example)
