Wrong setting for my belgian keyboard at logon after upgrade to 22.04

I upgraded my system from 20.04 to 22.04 yesterday.

I have one belgian keyboard (USB), defined as such. When I try to logon, the keyboard is 'QWZERTY'. Fortunately, I could 'see' and adapt my typing to enter my password to login. After that, the keyboard reacts as "AZERTY", as it should.

I checked the keyboard settings. Only one keyboard is defined ad is 'belgian' as it should.

What can I do to adjust the settings for the logon screen?

I finally could make it work, thanks to the suggestion of @vanadium.
I edited the file /etc/default/keyboard to change the variant from latin9 to oss_latin9. I could find that the second variant is appropriate for belgian keyboard, although the original one seems incompatible with XKBLAYOUT="be". I found the full list here: https://gist.github.com/jatcwang/ae3b7019f219b8cdc6798329108c9aee

The result is

XKBLAYOUT="be"

BACKSPACE="guess"

XKBMODEL="pc105"

XKBVARIANT="oss_latin9"

XKBOPTIONS=""
