Hi, from command line use the gsettings command or the dconf command. In your case gesetttings is the way to go. If something like $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/keyboard.conf Section "InputClass" Identifier "keyboard" MatchIsKeyboard "yes" Option "XkbLayout" "de" #Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" EndSection doesn't work, then GDM's or it's greeter's config overrides the X settings. Keep in mind that GNOME upstream supports/expects Wayland as GNOME default. This already breaks Linux installs and much more likely will breake FreeBSD installs. Perhaps https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GDM#Keyboard_layout does help, but I would stay away from a GUI to change the appropriate setting/s. I once provided a short example how to use gsettings for the dconf crap, see https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2017-October/msg00110.html , just use GDM insteadof evolution related keywords for the grep pipe.
