Comment # 7 on bug 1023211 from Stefan Dirsch

Well, previously Linux console and X11 default keymaps were set during
displaymanger startup according to the configuration in
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard. 
/etc/vconsole.conf looked like the successor to me. Meanwhile it turned out to
be
something different, not very useful to me.

Anyway, I'll let the YaST guys to no longer to write /etc/vconsole.conf
directly - in case they (still) do - and run "localectl set-x11-keymap <keymap>
[...]" instead. And I'll remove this keymap configuration script completely.
