Xorg/lxdm/i3-wm keyboard layout

aureooms · 2016-05-26 10:46:10

I have a laptop and a Logitech wireless keyboard. Both the laptop keyboard and the wireless keyboard have belgian AZERTY layout.

When I boot the computer (BIOS password) both keyboards use a AZERTY layout.
Once lxdm is started here's what happens (before AND after login). As long as I use the wireless keyboard, the layout in use is QWERTY. As soon as I hit a key on the laptop's keyboard (any key) the layout switches to AZERTY and does not change back when I type with the wireless keyboard.

2 questions:
- How can I change it so that the default layout is always AZERTY (both for lxdm and i3-wm), regardless of the keyboard used?
- What is the cause of the layout change when I hit a key on the laptop's keyboard?

I've tried putting

setxkbmap be

in /etc/lxdm/LoginReady with no success.

Computer: Dell Inspiron
USB keyboard: Logitech K360
Login manager: lxdm 0.5.3-2
Window manager: i3-wm 4.12-1
