- The <option>i810</option> driver is limited to resolutions
- available in the BIOS. For support for non-standard resolutions,
- such as those used in certain widescreen displays, use the
- <option>intel</option> driver. Switch drivers by running the

- available in the menu under

was used, even when the <computeroutput>kbd</computeroutput> driver was

+ In Fedora 9, the XKB settings are read from
<filename>/etc/sysconfig/keyboard</filename>, which gives users the correct
layout. The <option>KEYTABLE</option> option, configured in
<filename>/etc/sysconfig/keyboard</filename>, also sets the layout for X. The
<option>XKB_VARIANT</option> and <option>XKB_OPTIONS</option>
variables can be configured to customize XKB.
