Description Stephane Loeuillet 2004-05-28 09:25:08 UTC 
Code Listing 4.4: Changing the keyboard layout

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier  "Generic Keyboard"
  Driver    "keyboard"
  Option    "CoreKeyboard"
  Option    "XkbRules"  "xfree86"
  Option    "XkbModel"  "pc105"
  Option    "XkbLayout" "be"
EndSection

  Option    "XkbRules"  "xfree86"
should be
  Option    "XkbRules"  "xorg"

too many people already reported a bug because of xkb not working when they had 'xfree86' in their configure section :

Sorry about the bug and the troubles it caused. I've updated the documentation in CVS.
