# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name of the

# no need to change the default.

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of

#      Option  "XkbLayout"    "de"
#      Option  "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
