SLiM - keyboard issue - scandinavian letters not working in login

Installed xfce and enabled SLiM service. However, in SLiM login screen cannot type my password since it contains some scandinavian letters, äöå. Also character ½ won't work. Hitting those keys won't simply do anything in login. Keyboard map is strangely correct since other letters like ;:-/\| come where they should be in Finnish keyboard.  When disabling SLiM service and starting xfce manually by running startxfce4, scandinavian letters and ½ character are working fine. They are also workin fine in console. How to enable scandinavian letters in SLiM login?

I've added finnish keyboard in 10-evdev.conf like below, but this won't help.

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"

    #Keyboard layouts
    Option "XkbLayout" "fi"
EndSection
