I now looked and here is the problem. Belgium has three official
languages: Dutch, French and German. Dutch and French-speaking people
(99% of the population) use the belgian layout; the small number of
German-speaking people use the german layout.
Keyboard selection has been hacked into xserver-xfree86.config and
says:
case "$LANG" in
"de_BE at euro" ) LAYOUT="de" XKBOPTIONS="" ;;
"fr_BE at euro" ) LAYOUT="be" XKBOPTIONS="" ;;
"nl_BE at euro" ) LAYOUT="be" XKBOPTIONS="" ;;
*"BE"* ) LAYOUT="de" XKBOPTIONS="" ;;
But $LANG is set to fr_BE, not fr_BE at euro.
