Wrong locale after update.

I-ve fully updated my system and suddenly my locale is wrong. In rc.conf it is set as

LOCALE="es_ES.UTF-8"
KEYMAP="es"

I-ve already checked locale.gen, it is fine, i-ve regenerated locale etc. It-s getting on my nerves.

By locale wrong I mean that I-m writing right now and as you might have guessed the apostrophe is not where it-s supposed to be. In the tty-s it is fine.

Thanks.

Re: Wrong locale after update.

This has nothing to do with locale setting in rc.conf, but with the recent Xorg upgrade. Have a look at the wiki how to configure your keyboard layout for the new Xorg version: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#xorg.conf.d

you could also have read the news where this change was mentioned: http://www.archlinux.org/news/502/

Re: Wrong locale after update.

Adding the following to xorg.conf did it. Thank you.

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier             "Keyboard Defaults"
    MatchIsKeyboard       "yes"
    Option               "XkbLayout" "dvorak"
EndSection
