With your explanation I took special care at the messages on the screen at startup, searching for any hints what might influence the keyboard settings. Obviously I must have accidentially deleted within "/etc/sysctl.conf" the '#' in front of the line machdep.forceukbd=1 which I once had added as a reminder. Recommenting the line solved the issue. As noone else had this problem it must have been me. Thanks again and sorry for the noise! Best, STEFAN

The locale settings (LC_CTYPE / LANG) don't change the keyboard layout, unless you have something in your .profile, .xsession or similar files that change it. > Which other process / program might influence wscons? I don't know. But as long as on X startup you have keyboard.encoding=unknown_0 you will get the us layout by default. If you haven't added anything to /etc/rc.local or any package that installs a custom rc.d script fiddling with wsconsctl, I've no idea why your machines ends up with the unknown_0 layout (which means KB_USER internally). -- Matthieu Herrb

For the time being I found an intermediate solution: Instead using Fluxbox as window manager I use LXQt and within changed all localisations to 'Germany' which survived a reboot. What puzzled me is the fact that I did not (knowingly) changed any settings which might explain this behaviour. The first line in the '.xsession'-file used to be export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 and with this I had German keyboard layout when entering the password (luckily right now no special characters different to English layout). At present (due to my experimental changes) I have export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" and thus English is expected when entering username & password. Which other process / program might influence wscons?

New dmesg and Xorg.0.log below. Anyone with a clue what might be cause of wsconsctl not using the encoding as defined in the conf-file? unveil(2)-related? Any other information I should provide? TIA.

Initially I noticed this behaviour when starting with xenodm. Switching to a console outside of X gives me the expected German keyboard layout.
