What I still don't know is, how do I set up the german keyboard
before or when connecting to my Linux box? The problem is that
xdm doesn't know about my german keyboard when the xdm login
dialog is displayed. I'm using a xdm broadcast connection in
.xserverrc:

exec X :0 -screen 0 1280x1024x32 -broadcast

What commandline option (and files) do I have to use (copy/create)
to get the german keyboard from the beginning (before login)?
