I'm just starting to research screen resolution. I want to safely
increase my screen resolution, but first need to make notes on how to
recover, via the fedora rescue CD, in the event things go wrong.
At this point I'm just thinking aloud, but please do chime in! :)

36 # To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
37 # lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
38 # keyboard, you will probably want to use:
39 # Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
40 # If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
41 # Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
42 #
43 # Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
44 # For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
45 # Option "XkbLayout" "de"
46 # or:
47 # Option "XkbLayout" "de"
48 # Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"

50 # If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
51 # control keys, use:
52 # Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
53 # Or if you just want both to be control, use:
54 # Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
