--- Comment #165 from Jens Grassel <freebsd-ports at jan0sch.de> ---
Thanks to an email from Michael I got it working (somehow).

The solution was indeed removing the custom keyboard configuration and set the
keyboard layout and other stuff via something like `setxkbmap -model
microsoft4000 -layout de -variant nodeadkeys` in the `~/.xinitrc` file.

However for the machines that are used by multiple users (login manager is
slim) this doesn't work because slim starts up with the default (us) keyboard
which is pretty annoying regaring entering passwords. So I guess I'll go
hunting for another login manager which allows changing the keyobard layout.

Many thanks for your help. I'd suggest that maybe something regarding this
should be added to the pkg-message (not only the kern.evdev.rcpt_mask notice).

Kind regards,

Jens
