Hello Ludo,

I am using EXWM. Interestingly, when using GNOME, the problem does not appe=
ar.

Maybe this is relevant? As far as I can tell, this all looks fine.

e: KEYBOARD, id 10)

[    39.298] (WW) evdev: Logitech K520: ignoring absolute axes.

I also searched for errors and warnings, but did not find anything suspicio=
us.

Also, it turns out that when attaching the tablet keyboard, the layout
is also set correctly for the external keyboard, even when the tablet
keyboard is removed again.


Best,

Dario
