Hey Wolfgang,

you need to configure the keyboard layout in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Search
for "XkbLayout" and "XkbVariant" and change the values to

Option          "XkbLayout"     "de"
Option          "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"

after that you need to restart your xserver, and should be able to use
your german keymap in X afterwards.
