Comment 12 for bug 8836

Same problem here. I use a Dvorak keyboard, and thus chose dvorak in the
installer. The installer understands that without the proper layout
configuration, you cannot enter texts and presents this question as one of the
first, with the ability to pick an answer without using any letter.

However, X defaults to QWERTY. If this is indeed based on the language choice,
then that must be changed. Keyboards and languages are NOT closely related. Most
Dutch computer users have US keyboards (in fact, IBM still ships only Dutch
keyboards, which is one of the reasons they don't sell many computers (including
laptops) here). I use Dvorak, which is never the default for any locale.

Apart from that it should just Work, it would be nice if the graphical login
offered some way to change the keyboard layout. I really do not feel like
finding a QWERTY keyboard at that point, and it is because I know how to
configure X that I could login after manually changing the configuration. End
users should never have to do this.
