Hello,

The attached patch for the

	xf86-input-keyboard-X11R7.2-1.1.1/man/kbd.man

file adds few more bits of information concerning these options:

	Option "XkbRules" "rules"
	Option "XkbModel" "modelname"
	Option "XkbLayout" "layoutname"
	Option "XkbVariant" "variants"
	Option "XkbOptions" "options"

mentioned in kbd(4) manual page.

No big additions but the manual page now contains information I was hoping to find there.
- how can I find all the valid values for these options
- and a concrete example of a xorg.conf fragment that shows how to configure switching between two
layouts and how to specify variants of these layouts.

I missed such an information when I was trying to figure out how to switch to QWERTY instead of the
default QWERTZ slovak keyboard.

The patch is based on answers I have got here:

	http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2008/02/msg00418.html

and from random googling.

Let me know if this is not the proper place to submit the patch or if is not in the proper form.

Best regards
