Layouts
We have a single keyboard model (the hardware; geometry and keycodes), but many keyboard layouts, switchable in software. The default layout for any country will match the printing on the keys. Both the model and the layouts are (or will be) listed in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.xml .
I believe we do not yet have an xkb geometry file. MitchellNCharity 00:49, 3 October 2007 (EDT)
