# This allows clients to receive this key event.

#    Option    "DontZoom"



# Uncomment this to disable tuning with the xvidtune client. With

# receive a protocol error.



#    Option    "DisableVidModeExtension"



# Uncomment this to enable the use of a non-local xvidtune client.

# change the keyboard or mouse settings (currently only xset).

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

# If you have a US "windows" keyboard you will want:

#

#    Option    "XkbModel"      "pc104"

#

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

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

#

#    Option    "XkbLayout"    "de"
