+<title>General Information</title>
+<para>
+&kxkb; Configuration consists of three tabs: Layout, Switching
+ Options and Xkb Options. Layout and Xkb Options are mutually independent.
+The Layout tab defines layouts you want to use and their options, the Switching
+Options tab defines how you want to switch keyboards and the Xkb Otions tab
+defines parameters for Xkb extension on which &kxkb; is based.
+Xkb options are property of X and are not handled in any way by &kxkb; - 
+it just sets it up.
+</para>
+<note><para>
+&kxkb; configuration does not change anything in XFree86 configuration 
+files and Layout settings from XFree86 configuration are overridden 
+by &kxkb; if <option>Enable keyboard layout</option> option is turned on.
+</para></note>
+<note><para>
+To make your XFree86 configuration work you have to turn off both 
+<option>Enable keyboard layout</option> in layout configuration tab 
+<emphasis>and</emphasis> <option>Enable xkb options</option> in 
+Xkb options configuration tab (for the latter the same effect can be 
+reached if <option>Reset Old Options</option> is turned off and 
+none of xkb options are set).
+</para></note>
+<para>
+&kxkb; does most of its actions through <command>setxkbmap</command> command. 
+You can see the commandline to be executed for each active layout 
+when you select it and, on the xkb options tab, its available xkb option set.

+<para>
+In layout configuration dialog the list of available layouts on your left. 
+You have to choose each layout you want to use and add them (one by one) 
+to the list of active layouts on the right. You can also change the order 
+in which active layouts will be switched when toggled by keyboard shortcut 
+or mouse button. The first layout in the list becomes default layout.
+</para>
+<para>
+Some layouts have several variants. Layout variants usually represent 
+different key maps for the same language. For example, Ukrainian 
+layout might have four variants: basic, winkeys (as in Windows), typewriter 
+(as in typewriters) and phonetic (each Ukrainian letter is placed on a 
+transliterated latin one). If your layout is multi-variant one 
+you can the variant in combobox below the active layouts list.
+</para>
+<para>
+Keyboard model setting is independent of your keyboard layout and refers 
+to the "hardware" model, i.e. the way your keyboard is manufactured. 
+Modern keyboards that come with your computer usually have two extra keys 
+and are referred to as "104-key" models, which is probably what you want 
+if you don't know what kind of keyboard you have.
+</para>
+<para>
+You can also choose switching policy for keyboard layout. By default it's 
+<option>Global meaning</option> all applications will share the same current layout. 
+<option>Application</option> means each application will have it's own layout and 
+switching layout while you are working with one application will not impact layout for any
+others. <option>Window</option> will make every window have its own layout even if they belong 
+to the same program.
+</para>
+<para>
+If you set only one active layout, at startup kxkb configures the keyboard and exits thus 
+its indicator will not appear. If you still want kxkb indicator select 
+<option>Show indicator for single layout</option> option.
+</para>
+<note>
+<para>
+If you leave active layout list empty keyboard layouts will be disabled

+Xkb options allow you to select behavior of your keyboard. These options are not 
+handled by &kxkb; but may help tune your keyboard to your needs. You can set Xkb
+extension options instead of, or in addition to, specifying them in the X11
+configuration file.

+
+<para>If you switch to some layout and you can not see some characters
+from your layout as you type, please check your local settings.  &eg;
+<filename>~/.i18n</filename> or
+<filename>/etc/sysconfig/i18n</filename>, locale you have before
+starting kde applications must have an encoding which contains
+characters from your layout.  For example, to enter ukrainian symbols
+you must have encoding KOI8-U, CP1251 or UTF-8. The last one is a good
+choice to try for most of the languages if you have such a problem.
+</para>
+
+<para>If kxkb does not switch with keyboard shortcut when you switch
+it to some layout but switching with mouse is ok may mean 
+that your layout does not contain the key
+assigned in shortcut.</para>
+
+<para>In XFree86 prior to version 4.3.0 non-latin layouts mutually included
+latin group  and this group was the default thus pressing 
+<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;&Alt;<keycap>k</keycap></keycombo>
+always yielded the right combination. From version 4.3.0 by default
+all layouts contain only one group thus non-latin layouts may not work
+here.</para>
+
+<para>Possible solutions are:</para>
+
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem>
+<para>add your layout to $nonlatin or $oldlayouts lists in

+<para>All available keyboard layouts are described in
+<filename>/etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst</filename> (and
+<filename>/etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.xml</filename> since XFree86
+4.3.0), the layouts themselves can be found in
+<filename>/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc</filename> (or
+<filename>/etc/X11/xkb/symbols</filename> for XFree86 4.2.x and
+older). Note that the location of these files may differ depending on
+your operating system and distribution.</para>
+
+<para>&kxkb; now uses the xkb extension instead of xmodmap, so to
+define your own layout you have to get one from <filename
+class="directory">/etc/X11/xkb/symbols</filename> which is closest to
+what you want to get (or <filename
+class="directory">/etc/X11/xkb/symbold/pc</filename> for XFree86
+4.3.0), rename it to something you like and edit it. Then just add the
+name to <filename>/etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst</filename> (and for
+XFree86 4.3.0 or later it is a good idea to add the name also to
+<filename>/etc/X11/xkb/ruls/xfree86.xml</filename> - some packages
+already use it, not &kxkb; though yet) kxkb will pick it up on
+restart. Note: you have to be root to edit those files.</para>
