    <para><parameter>--with-xkb-base=$XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/xkb</parameter>:
    This parameter sets the installation directory for the keyboard data to
    the location where <xref linkend="xorg7-server"/> expects it.</para>

    <para><parameter>--with-xkb-rules-symlink=xorg</parameter>: By default,
    the XKB rules installed are named "base". This creates symlinks named
    "xorg" to those rules, which is the default name used by Xorg.</para>
