You start an xterm by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Shift-X and run setxkbmap in this terminal, right? Anyway, the YaST guys need to figure out what's wrong here.

BTW, some days ago I noticed that YaST expects to have package yast2-x11 installed. Otherwise it doesn't run setxkbmap during installation to change the configured keyboard layout immediately. Maybe that package is no longer installed. Who knows ...
