DESCRIPTIONkeyboard is an Xorg input driver for keyboards. The driver supports
the standard OS-provided keyboard interface.
The keyboard driver functions as a keyboard input device, and may be
used as the X server's core keyboard.
This driver is built-in to the core X server, and multiple instances
are not supported. A loadable driver, kbd, is available, and is
planned to replace the keyboard driver in a future release of the Xorg
server.
CONFIGURATION DETAILS
Please refer to xorg.conf(5x) 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.

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:
"xorg" for most platforms, but "xfree98" for the Japanese PC-98
platforms.
Option "XkbModel" "modelname"
specifies the XKB keyboard model name. Default: "pc105" for
most platforms, but "pc98" for the Japanese PC-98 platforms.
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.
