Hi, 
I have an ATI Mach64 3D Rage IIC (AGP) card running 1024x768, thousands of 
colors.  Note this computer is *not* a laptop.

# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:

#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#	Option	"XkbLayout"	"de"
# or:
#	Option	"XkbLayout"	"de"
#	Option	"XkbVariant"	"nodeadkeys"
