      Hi,

      I have problems with my keyboard layout configuration. Settings made by raspi-config are used if I quit EmulationStation (ES) and write something into the terminal. If I start LXDE via ES (Ports/Desktop) or via Console (startx) Pixel uses a different keyboard layout, I guess en_GB layout. I tried many things found with google, but nothing helped me.

      My second SD card is installed with an actual raspbian and the keyboard works fine after using raspi-config.

      Thank you for your time and help.
