Hi.
F18 has deprecated /etc/sysconfig/keyboard but either
there's no way to configure the X keymap (bug) or I
haven't
found yet.

In a post a few days ago it was said that
/etc/vconsole.conf
would replace it but X fails to set the keyboard from
there.

$ cat /etc/vconsole.conf
FONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
KEYMAP="br-abnt2"

$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
{snip}
[   599.674] (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
[   599.674] (**) Option "xkb_model" "evdev"
[   599.674] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us"
{snip}

So it sets the 'us' keymap and thus this is the keymap
active in the login window (lightdm here).

I tried with
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf

Section "InputDevice"
     Identifier
    "Keyboard0"
     Driver
    "keyboard"
     Option
    "XkbLayout" "br"
     Option
    "XkbModel" "abnt2"
EndSection

But it doesn't work (I tried changing driver name,
adding
the ServerLayout section etc.).

See X log from F17 with /etc/sysconfig/keyboard:

$ cat /var/log/Xorg.1.log
{snip}
[  4690.573] (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
[  4690.573] (**) Option "xkb_model" "abnt2"
[  4690.573] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "br"
[  4690.573] (**) Option "xkb_options"
"terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,"
{snip}

note: I'm using the NVIDIA driver from rpmfusion. Maybe
it
would work with the kernel driver (nouveau; I mention
it as
it seems it's more integrated yet than before) but
still X
should configure the keyboard properly regardless of
the
video driver used.

I found in another post about localectl (and read now your
answer, Frank).
I ran it and the change it made in vconsole.conf just
removed the quotes. Let's see if it will work.

I also ran it for the locale as I was receiving a dracut
error at boot with en_US.UTF-8. So I changed with the listed
en_US.utf8.
Let's see if it will make any difference.

Worked fine. It actually changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf:

# Read and parsed by systemd-localed. It's probably wise not to edit this file
# manually too freely.
Section "InputClass"
         Identifier "system-keyboard"
         MatchIsKeyboard "on"
         Option "XkbLayout" "br"
EndSection


Which systemd release got upgrade to when you upgraded?
