EDIT: To fix this, I edited /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup to include my desired commands:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
# Xsetup - run as root before the login dialog appears

#xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -notify -verbose -fn fixed -exitOnFail -file /dev/xconsole &
setxkbmap fi
setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
xmodmap "/etc/X11/xinit/Xmodmap"
numlockx on

___________________

I would like KDM to load a custom keymap (/etc/X11/xinit/Xmodmap) instead of the US keymap which it forces on by default.
I have read through a couple of config files but haven't found a way to alter this behaviour.

Systems settings -> Personal -> Keyboard layout
At the command line sth. like :
Code:
setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout de -variant nodeadkeys
which BTW can be scripted/automated via ~/.kde4/Autostart/.

Umm...
I meant I want KDM to use a custom keymap, i.e. when typing the username and password.
I have the keyboard layout correct in KDE and Fluxbox.

I'm facing exactly the same issue. It never was a problem, until the last kdelibs 4.4.5 update a few days ago.

When I switch back to the terminal, the keyboard layout is correct as it is set in /etc/conf.d/keymaps.

In the past, I also didn't have to change any keyboard settings inside KDE, it worked right out of the box with my german keyboard.

So what changed in that last kdelibs build? I think I remember that the hal useflag is not set anymore (and in fact it is marked as deprecated). So if hal worked for me in the past, what should be working for me in the future? Did I miss an important news item?

AFAIK the hal USE flag was removed from default profile (probably due to the stabilization of xorg-server). Therefore you should either add this flag via /etc/portage/package.use/<foo> or maybe upgrading to the new unstable xorg-server 1.9.2 (which I did few days ago w/o any problems) helps too.

I'm already running ~amd64 and have xorg-server-1.9.2.902 and KDE 4.5.4.

I took another look at /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc, and found out that /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup is the file where I can put my keymap commands.
Thanks for all the help, marking as solved.
