DESCRIPTION

       keyboard  is  an  Xorg input driver for keyboards.  The driver supports
       the standard OS-provided keyboard interface.  This driver is  currently
       built-in to the core X server.

       The  keyboard  driver  functions as a keyboard input device, and may be
       used as the X server's core keyboard.  This driver is currently  built-
       in  to the core X server, and multiple instances are not yet supported.

CONFIGURATION DETAILS

       Please refer to xorg.conf(4) for general configuration details and  for
       options  that  can  be  used with all input drivers.  This section only
       covers configuration details specific to this driver.

       The following driver Options are supported:

       Option "Protocol" "string"
              Specify the keyboard protocol.  Valid protocol types include:

                   Standard, Xqueue.

              Not all protocols are  supported  on  all  platforms.   Default:
              "Standard".

       Option "AutoRepeat" "delay rate"
              sets  the  auto  repeat behaviour for the keyboard.  This is not
              implemented on all platforms.  delay is the time in milliseconds
              before  a  key  starts repeating.  rate is the number of times a
              key repeats per second.  Default: "500 30".

       Option "XLeds" "ledlist"
              makes the keyboard  LEDs  specified  in  ledlist  available  for
              client  use  instead of their traditional function (Scroll Lock,
              Caps Lock and Num Lock).  The numbers in the  list  are  in  the
              range 1 to 3.  Default: empty list.

       Option "XkbDisable" "boolean"
              disable/enable  the  XKEYBOARD  extension.  The -kb command line
              option overrides this  config  file  option.   Default:  XKB  is
              enabled.

              NOTE: This option should be specified in the ServerFlags section
              rather than here.  It's use here is deprecated.

       Option "XkbRules" "rules"
              specifies which XKB rules file to use for interpreting the  Xkb-
              Model, XkbLayout, XkbVariant, and XkbOptions settings.  Default:
              "xfree86" for most platforms, but  "xfree98"  for  the  Japanese
              PC-98 platforms.

       Option "XkbModel" "modelname"
              specifies  the  XKB  keyboard  model name.  Default: "pc101" for
              most platforms, but "pc98" for the Japanese PC-98 platforms, and
              "pc101_sol8x86" for Solaris 8 on x86.

       Option "XkbLayout" "layoutname"
              specifies  the  XKB  keyboard  layout name.  This is usually the
              country or language type of the  keyboard.   Default:  "us"  for
              most platforms, but "nec/jp" for the Japanese PC-98 platforms.

       Option "XkbVariant" "variants"
              specifies  the  XKB  keyboard  variant components.  These can be
              used to enhance the keyboard layout details.  Default: not  set.

       Option "XkbOptions" "options"
              specifies the XKB keyboard option components.  These can be used
              to enhance the keyboard behaviour.  Default: not set.

       Some other XKB-related options are available, but they are incompatible
       with  the  ones  listed  above and are not recommended, so they are not
       documented here.
