The problem is that system-config-keyboard edits xorg.conf, and does so extremely poorly and brokenly. It actually breaks a valid xorg.conf, in fact, by creating a ServerLayout section without an Identifier entry. But the real problem is that it creates a broken keyboard entry that doesn't do anything. Because it loads the keymap at run time, the settings go live in the current session, but after re-starting xorg, they don't get re-applied because the InputDevice section that system-config-keyboard created is broken. Xorg.0.log eventually got me looking in the right direction. the main thing that the InputDevice section was missing was the Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0" line. Without it the keyboard entry failed, and on Tegra at least, NVEC keyboard would get detected on that device node and started, which would default to the US layout every time. The solution was to fix the InputDevice entry manually, and use the evdev driver. After that NVEC (found via udev it seems) driver gets loaded, but it sees that the device is already claimed, so it goes away. The net result is the keyboard working with the correct map. I'm not entirely sure what against to file this bug report, or even where. I'm guessing against system-config-keyboard, but we're not up to the point where we can build/test rawhide on Fedora on ARM, are we? My experience is that in genereal, the life cycle of fedora is too short for the fixes to ever arrive for anything except Rawhide...
