# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.

# Option "XkbDisable"

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.

# keyboard, you will probably want to use:

# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"

# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:

# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"

#

# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.

# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:

# Option "XkbLayout" "de"

# or:

# Option "XkbLayout" "de"

# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"

#

# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and

do you have two nvidia video cards in this computer or what, as there are two listed in your xorg.conf, and one is using the nvidia driver (nv) and the other is not, it's using the default non-hardware accelerated video driver (vesa)

 

cheers

I just typed this out, so there will most likely be a typo or 5 in it. You will also have to update some of the driver names and paths as this file was being used on a FreeBSD system.
