From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Everytime after I booted or logged out an in again, the keyboard layout of my notebook is set back to US (for instance z / y exchanged). I then have to go to System Settings > Keyboard to switch back to the intended Swiss German layout. Interestingly, 'Swiss German' is already selected, a simple [OK] turns the trick - which alas only lasts as long as the session. more /etc/sysconfig/keyboard KEYBOARDTYPE="pc" KEYTABLE="sg" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kbd-1.12-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Wet you keyboard layout to Swiss German in System Settings / Keyboard. 2. See, whether your keyboard show letters accordingly ie. for a US Keyboard, a Y should produce a Z. 3. Log out and log in 4. See, whether 2. still is true. Actual Results: A 'Y' is shown on any program capable of typing in it. Expected Results: A 'Z' is displayed instead. Additional info:
Update I found another, probably related error: I tried to have a shorter workaround to the problem by including the keyboard indicator in the panel. I then tried to add 'Swiss German' via the 'Keyboard Preferences' Screen of the indicator, wich raised following error: Error activating XKB configuration. Probably internal X server problem.

Hello, This is all related to keyboard layout in X, not on the console, right?
Please reopen this report if you can provide the requested data. Thank you.
