-      The <option>i810</option> driver is limited to resolutions
-      available in the BIOS. For support for non-standard resolutions,
-      such as those used in certain widescreen displays, use the
-      <option>intel</option> driver. Switch drivers by running the
-      <command>system-config-display</command> command, which is also
-      available in the menu under
-      <menuchoice><guimenu>System</guimenu><guisubmenu>Administration</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Display</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.

+	    In Fedora 9, the XKB settings are read from <filename>/etc/sysconfig/keyboard</filename>, which gives users the correct layout. The <option>KEYTABLE</option> option, configured in <filename>/etc/sysconfig/keyboard</filename>, also sets the layout for X. The <option>XKB_VARIANT</option> and <option>XKB_OPTIONS</option> variables can be configured to customize XKB.
