Yep, just been through this myself.
A little time with Google found on a Fedora forum, this little
snippet:
<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version=3D"0.2">
<device>
<match key=3D"info.capabilities" contains=3D"input.keyboard">
<merge key=3D"input.xkb.layout" type=3D"string">gb</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
Save it as /usr/local/etc/hald/fdi/policy/x11-input.fdi
In your case, you'll want the appropriate keyboard layout name ("de",
at a guess) instead of "gb". Restart hald and start X again. You should
now have your German layout again.
It seems there are all sorts of other things you can do here, but I
haven't yet spent any quality time with it!
