Comment # 25 on bug 1008248 from First Last

I did as you suggested. The resulting file contents:

/etc/vconsole.conf:

KEYMAP=ch-de

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf:

# Read and parsed by systemd-localed. It's probably wise not to edit this file
# manually too freely.
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "ch"
        Option "XkbModel" "microsoftpro"
        Option "XkbVariant" "de_nodeadkeys"
        Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection

The change was only made to /etc/vconsole.conf. It looks like
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf was not changed.
I then went ahead and changed 00-keyboard.conf manually and rebooted. The
keyboard is now functioning properly (�� ����� ����� ����� ����� ����� �����),
even for the original user.
