Since system-config-keyboard switched to dbus, it no longer works
reliably to set the keyboard settings at boot. As a consequence we
cannot create a working livecd-image that honor the keyboard settings
in the kickstart file. These patches fix the problem.
The first patch is for spin-kickstarts and reads and applies the
desired keyboard settings from /etc/sysconfig/keyboard. The second
patch is for livecd-tools and writes the settings specified in the
kickstart file to /etc/sysconfig/keyboard so that they can be read at
boot.
I tested these with several combinations and it works with
--vconsole=xxx and --xlayouts=xxx without glitches. Comments are
welcome.
