To me it seems the issue seems to be that /usr/etc/X11/xdm/keytable is lacking in the way it calls localectl from the contents of /etc/vconsole.conf. Reading the script the author's intent seems to be "if vconsole.conf exists treat it as a source of truth and use localectl to make sure all the other configuration files are in line with vconsole.conf" (?), but the implementation ends up re-writing vconsole.conf itself at every reboot (which depending on sensibilities maybe be seen as an issue or mere lack of elegance) and, most importantly, resetting some of the variables in vconsole.conf to defaults. Here's some commands to understand what I mean: ~ ��������� cat /etc/vconsole.conf KEYMAP=us-altgr-intl FONT=eurlatgr.psfu FONT_MAP= FONT_UNIMAP= XKBLAYOUT=us XKBMODEL=pc104 XKBVARIANT=altgr-intl XKBOPTIONS=compose:menu,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp ~ ��������� sudo /usr/etc/X11/xdm/keytable /etc/vconsole.conf available KEYMAP: us-altgr-intl Command: localectl set-keymap us-altgr-intl I: Using systemd /usr/share/systemd/kbd-model-map mapping ~ ��������� cat /etc/vconsole.conf KEYMAP=us-altgr-intl FONT=eurlatgr.psfu FONT_MAP= FONT_UNIMAP= XKBLAYOUT=us XKBMODEL=microsoftpro XKBVARIANT=altgr-intl XKBOPTIONS=terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp (note that, while the keymap us-altgr-intl is correctly conserved, other variables in vconsole.conf are reset to default)
