SDDM does not pick up the keyboard layout

[delentef]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup SDDM on a Fedora 39 installation. It starts, but shows only one keyboard layout, label ZZ . I can't change this layout (the drop down menu doesn't` work).

I have the keyboard layout in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/àà-keyboard.conf:

# Written by systemd-localed(8), read by systemd-localed and Xorg. It's
# probably wise not to edit this file manually. Use localectl(1) to
# instruct systemd-localed to update it.
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard `"on"`
        Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection

and I have also created /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup:

#!/usr/bin/sh
# Xsetup - run as root before the login dialog appears

setxkbmap fr

What am I missing? Thanks for any help!

Are you certain it isn't working, in that it changes to 'fr' as soon as you start typing your password? And do you get the correct characters for your keyboard? If so, it's like just this bug in Xserver.

Thanks for your answer; however the layout doesn't change when I start typing, it stays on ZZ, and my password is rejected (I tried several times, carefully typing to avoid typos) so I'm pretty sure the layout is not correct at all; and I can't change it to any other layout (the drop down menu doesn't react) to try e.g. with the US layout.

Oh well, worth a try. My 00-keyboard.conf (I presume in your original post the àà-keyb... was due to misconfigured layout) looks exactly like yours, but with Option "XkbLayout" "gb". I also can't open the layout menu, and it always starts on US, but as soon as I type a character, it pops to UK.

If you copied the name of your actual configuration file in the original post, it's got the wrong name...

Hello, sorry for the lengthy delay to reply; I mistyped, you're right, it's 00-keyboard.conf (àà is on the 0 key on a french keyboard :^)

The layout doesn't change when typing a letter, it stays on ZZ, and I can't change that layout to any other in any way.
