>Description:
After startup of gdm the keyboard layout that is pre-selected by default always is USA, although every part of the system is configured to use german keyboard layout i.e. pc102de + nodeadkeys.

rc.conf is aware of it:

keymap="german.iso"

xorg.conf is aware of it:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Keyboard0"
        Driver          "kbd"
        Option          "AutoRepeat"    "270 55"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc102"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "de"
        Option          "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

and even HAL is aware of it:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/atkbd_0'
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/atkbd_0'  (string)
  info.category = 'input.keyboard'  (string)
  input.x11_options.AutoRepeat = '270 55'  (string)
  input.device = ''  (string)
  info.subsystem = 'platform'  (string)
  info.product = 'AT Keyboard'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'kbd'  (string)
  freebsd.driver = 'atkbd'  (string)
  freebsd.unit = 0  (0x0)  (int)
  input.x11_options.XkbRules = 'xorg'  (string)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/atkbdc_0'  (string)
  platform.id = 'atkbd.0'  (string)
  input.x11_options.XkbModel = 'pc102'  (string)
  freebsd.device_file = '/dev/atkbd0'  (string)
  input.x11_options.XkbLayout = 'de'  (string)
  info.capabilities = { 'input', 'input.keyboard' } (string list)
  input.x11_options.XkbVariant = 'nodeadkeys'  (string)

>How-To-Repeat:
Start using gdm-2.24 on a machine that uses some other keyboard layout than USA.
