The LightDM Login manager uses the same layout than the rest of the LinuxMX OS
Observed Behavior:
The configuration of keyboard layout has no effect of the LightDM Login Manager. A user with a non-US layout and no auto login will have to reselect his layout in the very long layout list each times he tries to connect.
Selected layout will not be saved for the next connection.
No user-friendly tool or parameter allows to set a default layout for LighDM
Solution
To permanently define a layout for LightDM, the following line must be added in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.confbelow[SeatDefaults]

with that info in the file, was it still defaulting to a us keyboard without your script added to lightdm.conf?
Yes, when I remove the line from /etc/lightdm/lighdm.conf, it will default to us, even with the correct infos in Keyboard configuration file. Actually, it defaults to [layout] not us
