When I attempted to use Yast2 GUI with my US keyboard connected to my Windows 7 desktop, the keys don’t map correctly. For example when I press the s key on my keyboard an “a” is used. For the most part any key I press will be a key to the left of that key. I have no issues with my US keyboard mapping using SLES 11.3. I have compared my RPM packages associated with desktops between SLES 11.3 and 12.1 see no rpm packages missing on my SLES 12.1 distribution. When I tail -f the /var/log/YaST2/y2log when I invoke the keyboard I see the following messages:

When in YaST2 → System Keyboard Configuration, I have English (US) keyboard selected. But when cursor in the Test dialog, I press a character key on my physical keyboard and character will appear to left of the physical key. Press t key will result in r, press g key will result in f, etc…
