System: NetBSD tazz 9.99.92 NetBSD 9.99.92 (TAZZ) #21: Wed Dec 22 10:20:52 UTC 2021 mlelstv@slowpoke:/scratch2/obj.amd64/scratch/netbsd-current/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/TAZZ amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
When you change the wskbd map with wsconscfg, the driver reports a "user"
encoding and the X server falls back to a default US keyboard layout.

With hot-plugging enabled by default in modern X servers, any
configuration for input devices in xorg.conf is automatically dropped.

A workaround is therefore to disable hotplugging and provide a
manual configuration again. E.g.:

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
        Option "XkbLayout" "de"
EndSection

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to adjust the wscons keymap and run X.

 Generally with modern X servers you should use setxkbmap(1) in
 some initialization file ($HOME/.xinitrc or $HOME/.xsession),
 it will be unaffected by whatever default is selected for X.

 That's what the NetBSD guide recommends.
