Well, the template names I use for XFree86 are: xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/rules xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/layout xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/variant xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/options These could easily become shared templates. -- G.
