Hello:
I've 2 keyboards, both with Spanish (es) layout. One is a Logitech K300 (wired, with 102 keys) and a Logitech K400 (wireless, with 84 keys, with touchpad incorporated). When I use the first one, SDDM seems to detect the right layout automatically. Or maybe it just applies the configuration that I set by hand. But when I use the K400, SDDM seems to be using the American English (us) layout by default.
I use passwords with symbols, in addition to letters and digits, so this makes it complicated to log-in. Fortunately, I remember the location of many keys in the "us" layout, and I can log-in and then reconfigure the keyboard with the "es" layout, using the command "setxkbmap". But it's a repetitive and tiring task.
I believe that it's an specific issue with SDDM or with the display managers in general. Because, if I switch to the text console, the correct layout is applied. I can log-in without problems. I've read in the Arch wiki that SDDM applies the "us" layout by default. But I think that information is specific of that distro or that it isn't valid any more in the current versions of SDDM. Otherwise, the K300 would be detected incorrectly too. And it isn't.
So, Do you know why the layout of the K400 is misunderstood by SDDM? I'm trying to remember if this also happened with Kubuntu 14.04 and LightDM (the display manager used back then), and I think that it did too. Although in that case, the layout was set to the right one after logging-in.
Thank you!
