NetBSD 10.1 x86_64
>Description:
In wskbd (wscons), the Latin American keyboard layout is identified as "la".
When Xorg auto-configures the keyboard, it sees la and sets the layout to Lao (since "la" is the ISO 639-1 code for Lao in XKB).
The correct XKB layout for Latin American Spanish is "latam".
Result:
Users cannot type their username/password correctly in XDM (or other login managers) because the keyboard outputs Lao characters instead of Latin American.
Manual intervention (e.g., switching to a TTY or pre-configuring Xorg) is required to fix the layout.
>How-To-Repeat:
Select latin american layout during installation. Do the full install. Try to log in.
