Testing sddm 0.11.0 on Mageia 5 pre-RC, I see that there is an issue
with the keyboard layout. "en_US" is preselected and is the only
available option, I can't use the "fr" keyboard layout even though my
system locale is French.
Reproducible:

I have the same behaviour as some reported on the upstream bug report by
the way: the flag is initially "us", but as soon as I start typing my
password, it switches to "fr".

Hmmm I think we had similar patch for this, will recheck as it was fixed.
Patch was added here:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=797925
and was merged upstream in 0.11:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=800515
Seems that was a different issue.
For me, also only en_US is preselected, and once I select my username and begin
typing, it automatically switches to de_DE including the correct flag. Although
I don't have some german special characters, I'll check again for the keyboard
layout.
Do you have either
/etc/locale.conf
/etc/vconsole.conf
or something in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ?
What does localectl show?
As our tools don't run localectl, it will probably show nothing, which might be
the cause of the bug as mentioned in https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/202
Will need to check how Colin fixed similar issues for GNOME et al.

I don't have any of those.

$ localectl
System Locale: n/a
VC Keymap: n/a
X11 Layout: n/a

That might be yet another "old cauldron" issue, Colin did implement some stuff
with localectl AFAIU, so maybe sddm works fine on new installs of Mageia 5 beta
3.
I'll check that in a VM.

I can confirm that the bug also affects a Mageia 5 beta 3 VM.

In my Mageia 5 beta 3 VM I do have all the files you mentioned, and the
configuration look good:
$ cat /etc/locale.conf
LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8:de
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
$ cat /etc/vconsole.conf
KEYMAP=de-latin1
FONT=lat0-16
$ cat /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" "de"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin"
EndSection
$ localectl
System Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8:de
VC Keymap: de-latin1
X11 Layout: de
X11 Model: pc105
X11 Options: compose:rwin
So I guess all those files and localectl output are related to Colin's fixes
for the GNOME l10n issues.
Still, all that stuff does not fix the sddm flaw of showing "us"
keyboard layout and grabbing the correct one when you start typing.
