How to prevent keyboard layout modifications from affecting external keyboards

+1
−0

Using

For the console:

/etc/vconsole.conf
----
KEYMAP=dvorak

For X Session:

.xinitrc
----
setxkbmap -layout us -variant dvorak &

Problem

For the console, it applies the dvorak layout to a firmware dvorak keyboard, messing up the input.

When starting the X Session, I have to re-plug the keyboard in order for it to function properly.

Re-plugging in console has no effect.

Question

How do I prevent these configurations from affecting the external keyboard?

OR

How do I restrict these configurations to only affecting the internal laptop keyboard?

Since this received no activity up to this point, I decided to duplicate it in a more specialized forum.
