We're going to make it clearer to users that they should NOT edit
this file (as installed to /usr/share/hal/fdi/... and also let
them know where to copy it and how to edit that copy for an
alternate keymap and such... --rworkman @ 20091211

+<!-- READ THIS FOR CUSTOM KEYBOARD INFORMATION
+
+ If you want to add a custom model/layout/variant to X, you will need to COPY
+ this file to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ and edit that copy. After editing it to
+ suit, you will need to leave X, restart the HAL daemon, and start X again.
+
+ Here's an example of the four lines from above:
+ <merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>
+ <merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">evdev</merge>
+ <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us</merge>
+ <merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string">intl</merge>
+
+ Many desktop environments, including KDE and Xfce, have their own methods to
+ configure keyboard layouts and such if you'd like to use them.
+
+ If you prefer to use the "old" way of configuring keyboards (without HAL's
+ input device hotplugging), then you'll need to add the following lines to
+ the ServerFlags section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
+ Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
+ Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
+ Option "AutoEnableDevices" "false"
+ You can now edit the Keyboard section of xorg.conf as usual.
