Thanks for that pointer!
I am still struggling with it. The keyboard layout variable does change, but the characters that come out when hitting keys are still the same... Really weird!

In the install program, it is possible to set both the language and geographical location, but the keyboard does not follow. It comes out to what I remember as standard US layout. It was the same issue in old KnoppMyth, but the fix described for it no longer works in 8.x (loadkeys se-latin1 => cannot open file se-latin1). How do you set the keyboard localization permanently these days? Thanks, /Chris |

It's the same process, but the keymaps might have changed names. This command will list all the available keymaps for the console. localectl list-keymaps |

Hm. Indeed, the Swedish keyboard layout seems to have a new name, but issuing "loadkeys sv-latin1" has no effect. I guess it is the second part of the process that is the important one, then: Code: Change /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to Option "XkbLayout" "se" That particular config file is no longer there. Where should the new option go? Thanks, /Chris |

XF86 is no longer used and it's been replaced by Xorg. Look at the xorg configuration section mentioned here. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke ... on_in_Xorg |

Just plugged in a more permanent, wired keyboard, to the system in the kitchen I was mucking with and whaddayaknow: It worked immediately! Will try the same configuration with the other frontends and see if reboots, unplugging etc will make any difference. Thanks, /Chris |

Indeed. Reboots, reattaching etc had no effect, but plugging in a wired keyboard to the other two frontends had the same effect. It still worked going back to the wireless keyboards. Issue solved!  Thanks, /Chris |
