--- Comment #3 from Stefan Dirsch
Why is there /etc/sysconfig/keyboard and /etc/vconsole.conf?
The former is the deprecated one. ;-)
Which is used when?
The former is preferred, probably due to not break system updates (IIRC) in order to update /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf if required during displaymanager startup time before Xserver gets started.
And since both are limited to crude keyboard descriptions using the TV keymap files how do I specify xkb options in those?
You don't. This is what you can select during installation. Mainly one possible keyboard layout per language. No way to specify special xkb options here.
I run Xorg desktop. There is no daemon fucking with my keyboard settings and I do not want system scripts to do that either if they cannot set up all xkb options I specify.
It's up to the *desktop* to provide any special keyboard layout settings. Feel free to blame your desktop, but not the Xorg component. Sorry, but there is no Xorg desktop, unless you specify twm a desktop. And I doubt twm messes around with keyboard settings.
My WM keyboard shortcuts get remapped. This sounds to me like you're using a real desktop.
