+X Keyboard Extension
+--------------------
+
+The X Keyboard Extension essentially replaces the core protocol definition of
+keyboard. The extension makes possible to clearly and explicitly specify most
+aspects of keyboard behaviour on per-key basis and to more closely track the
+logical and physical state of the keyboard. It also includes a number of
+keyboard controls designed to make keyboards more accessible to people with
+physical impairments.
+
+There are five types of components in the server database corresponing to five
+xkb symbolic names: symbols, geometry, keycodes, compat and types which
+determine the keyboard behaviour. These five components can combined together
+into a resulting keyboard mapping using the 'rules' component.
+
+The complete specification can be found on
+http://www.x-docs.org/XKB/XKBproto.pdf
+
+For XKB configuration information see 'README.config' file.
+
+For information how to further enhance XKB configuration see 'README.enhancing'
+file.
