I installed KDE and the KDM display manager in FreeBSD.
On my portable I have a non-US keyboard (a european country layout),
in KDE I can set it to the appropriate keyboard layout.
KDM login window is still in US qwerty keyboard, which makes me have
to enter my password with different keystrokes :-) How to set an
appropriate keyboard in KDM?

I don't know, but you can set your keyboard layout generally for X,
so you have this layout everywhere (e. g. when you're running
something different than KDE, as well as in xdm or kdm).

Just change your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to fit your needs, according
to this example:

        Section "InputDevice"
                Identifier      "Keyboard0"
                Driver          "kbd"
                Option          "XkbModel"              "pc105"
                Option          "XkbLayout"             "de"
                Option          "AutoRepeat"            "250 30"
        EndSection

OK, that was it for the keyboard matter. Thx..

Similar question:
my portable is 1280x768 pixels, but KDE comes up in 1024x768, making 'wide' icons and text :-(
I tried to add in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf in Section "Screen" for
all entries in Subsection "Display" (different Depths), a line
Modes "1280x784" ... but this does not help..
In KDE menu / Settings / peripherals / Display / the only choice
for Screen Size remains 1024x768 without alternatives (as before) ...
How to remedy?
