DESCRIPTION

       keyboard  is  an XFree86 input driver for keyboards.  The driver supports the standard OS-provided keyboard interface.  This driver is cur-
       rently 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 XF86Config(5) 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 XkbModel,  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 plat-
	      forms, 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.
