+        If you plan to run an X (or Wayland) Window system, you may want to
+        set up your X keyboard. The best way to do it is to retrieve the
+        settings from <filename>/etc/sysconfig/console</filename>, and feed
+        them to the <application>blocaled</application> daemon. As the
