[SOLVED] How to change Keyboard layout in Slim login manager ?

Hello
I'm working on a Arch config with openbox pcmanfm, many others things and slim login manager

In the tty: my keymap is correct (azerty french)
In slim: my keymap isn't correct (qwerty us)
In X, my keymap is correct (azerty french) because I have "setxkbmap fr" in my autostart.sh script

I would like to know how to set slim in azerty (french layout) without using hal (I will stop using it soon)

Thank you

Thank you, but I've already read this topic, and the solutions uses hal... Is there any other way to do it without hal ?

It is not using hal. Configuration is done in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf...

xorg.conf.

SOLVED with /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf method

Works perfectly now, and it's not with HAL: GREAT

Thanks !
