GDM ignores keyboard layout on intial login

sI'm using Gnome 40 with GDM

➜  ~ pacman -Si gdm
Repository      : extra
Name            : gdm
Version         : 40.0-1

As keyboard layout i use colemak and it's configured and working everywhere except for the initial login (gdm session after boot).

Configs:

➜  ~ localectl 
   System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: colemak
      X11 Layout: us
       X11 Model: colemak

➜  ~ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
# Written by systemd-localed(8), read by systemd-localed and Xorg. It's
# probably wise not to edit this file manually. Use localectl(1) to
# instruct systemd-localed to update it.
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "us"
        Option "XkbModel" "colemak"
EndSection

I'm out of ideas how this could be solved.

Edit: Formatting - changed from markdown to BBCode
