Problems with keyboard settings (Solved)

Yesterday I made a new installation on a Dell-Latitude-2100 netbook but I had problems to configure the Latin American keyboard.
I get Czech and English keyboard.

[root@arch julio]# localectl status
   System Locale: LANG=es_CO.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: la-latin1
      X11 Layout: n/a
       X11 Model: pc104
     X11 Variant: ,la-latin1
     X11 Options: grp:alt_shift_toggle

[root@arch julio]# nano /etc/vconsole.conf
KEYMAP=la-latin1
FONT=
FONT_MAP=

[root@arch julio]# nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.con
# Read and parsed by systemd-localed. It's probably wise not to edit this file
# manually too freely.
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" ""
        Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
        Option "XkbVariant" ",la-latin1"
        Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection

Sorry do not know how to use BBCode, but those are the results of following the wiki, but only appear Czech and English in the bar Gnome 3.14

Thanks

Use code tags for console output:

Re: Problems with keyboard settings (Solved)

I had this problem also and I did *twice* everything to set permanently my latam layout keyboard, no success. As I'm using OB, I tried to check some config files and there is one,  ~/.config/openbox/autostart ("Configure autostarted apps" option name in config menu) which had this setxkbmap overriding my previous intents. I just commented it out and then voilà :-)

# Enable as required
#xbacklight -set 100 &
#/usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=1 &
#xxkb &
#setxkbmap es &

Maybe you're having a similar problem, user configs overriding general ones ;-(
