Yes, that's the first question it > asks. No, this question: Template: xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/options Type: string Description: Please select your keyboard options. For the X server to handle your keyboard as you desire, keyboard options may be entered. Available options depend on which XKB rule set was previously selected. Not all options will work with every keyboard model and layout. . For example, if you wish the Caps Lock key to behave as an additional Control key, you may enter "ctrl:nocaps"; if you would like to switch the Caps Lock and left Control keys, you may enter "ctrl:swapcaps". . As another example, some people prefer having the Meta keys available on their keyboard's Alt keys (this is the default), while other people prefer having the Meta keys on the Windows or "logo" keys instead. If you prefer to use your Windows or logo keys as Meta keys, you may enter "altwin:meta_win". . You can combine options by separating them with a comma; for example, if you wish the Caps Lock key to behave as an additional Control key and you would like to use your Windows or logo keys as Meta keys, you may enter "ctrl:nocaps,altwin:meta_win". . Advanced users can use any options compatible with the selected XKB model, layout and variant. If the xlibs package has been unpacked, see the /etc/X11/xkb/symbols directory available options files, which define only partial keyboard translations. (For example, /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/ctrl.) . If you don't know what options to use, leave this entry blank. -- I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis.
