Hi,

I found how to change keyboard layout under KDM.
I just add a second file "x11-input.fdi" in /usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy
with these informations:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard">
          <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbModel"
type="string">pc105</merge>
          <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">fr</merge>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

I got two files in /usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy:
x11-input.fdi
90-vbboxguest.fdi

It works like a charm.

Regards,
Alexandre
