Testing sddm 0.11.0 on Mageia 5 pre-RC, I see that there is an issue
with the keyboard layout. "en_US" is preselected and is the only
available option, I can't use the "fr" keyboard layout even though my
system locale is French.
Reproducible:

I have the same behaviour as some reported on the upstream bug report by
the way: the flag is initially "us", but as soon as I start typing my
password, it switches to "fr".

Hmmm I think we had similar patch for this, will recheck as it was fixed.
Patch was added here:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=797925
and was merged upstream in 0.11:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=800515
Seems that was a different issue.
For me, also only en_US is preselected, and once I select my username and begin typing, it automatically switches to de_DE including the correct flag. Although I don't have some german special characters, I'll check again for the keyboard layout.
Do you have either
/etc/locale.conf
/etc/vconsole.conf
or something in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ?
What does localectl show?
As our tools don't run localectl, it will probably show nothing, which might be the cause of the bug as mentioned in https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/202
Will need to check how Colin fixed similar issues for GNOME et al.

I don't have any of those.

$ localectl
System Locale: n/a
VC Keymap: n/a
X11 Layout: n/a

That might be yet another "old cauldron" issue, Colin did implement some stuff with localectl AFAIU, so maybe sddm works fine on new installs of Mageia 5 beta 3.
I'll check that in a VM.

In my Mageia 5 beta 3 VM I do have all the files you mentioned, and the
configuration look good:
$ cat /etc/locale.conf
LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8:de
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
$ cat /etc/vconsole.conf
KEYMAP=de-latin1
FONT=lat0-16
$ cat /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" "de"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin"
EndSection
$ localectl
System Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8:de
VC Keymap: de-latin1
X11 Layout: de
X11 Model: pc105
X11 Options: compose:rwin
So I guess all those files and localectl output are related to Colin's fixes for the GNOME l10n issues.
Still, all that stuff does not fix the sddm flaw of showing "us"
keyboard layout and grabbing the correct one when you start typing.

Lowering the severity as it actually works fine when you start typing (I
did not check if the first character was inputted according to the US
layout or the system one though).

This is confirmed by 3 people in the upstream report, best comment there.
We can't do much about this.
Added a short note to Errata:

Yep, let's see how upstream handles it. It's good to have our own bug
report open for Mageia users that might want to report the same issue
anyway.

I got it working by editing this file /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup
Added: setxkbmap XX
XX are your keyboard layout code can list availables with: localectl

Title:
[master] system keyboard layout not honored
Status in sddm package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in sddm package in Mandriva:
In Progress
Bug description:
I'm on a fresh install of Kubuntu:
Description: Ubuntu 15.04
Release: 15.04
I chose German as installation language, de with nodeadkeys as
keyboard and locale is set to de_DE.UTF-8.
The console uses the correct keyboard, however when logging into sddm,
the keyboard layout is set to US.
SDDM doesn't seem to honour the keyboard configured during
installation.
SDDM installed is:
ddm:
Installiert: 0.11.0-0ubuntu10
Installationskandidat: 0.11.0-0ubuntu10
Versionstabelle:
*** 0.11.0-0ubuntu10 0
500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/universe amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I believe it's a bug since the keyboard layout at login window after
installing as described above should be the default system one, german
in the above case.
I have tried all sorts of ways (including some ugly hacks) to get this
resolved on a previous installation but didn't find a way. Considering
the many moving parts to get the login manager up and running, I'm
aware this might be filed against the wrong package. It might even be
an installer bug.
Thanks!
