Keyboard language problems

SUPPORT

Hi everyone,

I'm doing a manual Arch Linux installation and ran into a keyboard layout issue.

During the installation, I created /etc/vconsole.conf and set:

KEYMAP=la-latin1

Everything works fine in the virtual console, but when I start LXDE (or any graphical environment I try), the keyboard layout changes to something else that I don’t understand.

I’ve checked and I don’t see any configuration in LXDE that would override /etc/vconsole.conf. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can make my keyboard layout stay correct in the graphical environment?

Thanks in advance
