In these manuals under InputDevice section the following information is given - Option "XkbOptions" "options" specifies the XKB keyboard option components. These can be used to enhance the keyboard behaviour. Default: not set. But it doesn't link to or say anything about the allowable formats which is located in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lstq (I'm using Debian Etch, depending upon distribution the location might be different).
Was this done in the recent massive documentation update deluge?
(In reply to comment #1) > Was this done in the recent massive documentation update deluge? No content information change on my part, just the titlepage. Given there are 63 documents, it could seem like a lot. I currently do not have the knowledge to make the suggested improvements.
Actually the most recent improvement I know of here is Peter's recent creation of an xkeyboard-config man page to list the available options: http://who-t.blogspot.com/2011/06/man-page-for-xkeyboard-config.html which is now linked to from the xorg.conf man page: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=47b6ba3204d650393a7255ce2af27b8c018bb586
(In reply to comment #3) > which is now linked to from the xorg.conf man page: Err, I guess that's the Xorg man page, not the xorg.conf one, though since the XKB options are part of the kbd or evdev device options, it should be in those driver man pages.

The submitted patch should address this issue. http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2011-October/025979.html
kbd driver man page fixed now too, think that's everything so closing the bug.
