Wrong keyboard layout in login screen beside correct xconf and console-setup settings

[jaduret]

Prior to my 8.04->8.10 upgrade I never faced an issue with keyboard layout at logging screen. I have now a QWERTY keyboard at logging screen and a AZERTY keyboard during session. My xorg.conf is setup correctly for a French keyboard

My console-setup as well

# Valid font faces are: VGA (sizes 8, 14 and 16), Terminus (sizes

# You can also directly specify nonstandard font and ACM to load:
# FONT=/usr/local/share/funnyfonts/sarge16.psf
# ACM=/usr/local/share/consoletrans/my_special_encoding.acm

# The following variables describe your keyboard and can have the same
# values as the XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbVariant and XkbOptions options
# in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="fr"
XKBVARIANT="fr-latin1"
XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch"

# Do not update the following md5 sum if you change
# /etc/console-setup/boottime.kmap.gz and Debconf will not overwrite
# your custom keymap. Do not update it even if you want to make
# Debconf overwrite it. Instead simply specify the empty string as
# a md5 sum.

BOOTTIME_KMAP_MD5="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Finally my locale is the following
LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="fr_FR:fr"

However beside all of this being correct, I still get QWERTY lqyout at logging. I have tried through selecting the language to set it back to French. I get a window asking me to restart with Fr UTF8 but still I get the wrong keyboard layout.

Thanks for finding a solution
