I'm searching for documentation about new XKEYBOARD extension in
XFree. The readme's are not exhaustive...
XkbRules, XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbVariant, XkbOptions, XkbKeymap,
XkbKeycodes, XkbTypes, XkbCompat, XkbSymbols, XkbGeometry...

I have an Italian keyboard but if I set X for use it, I can't type the
'{' and '}' chars... and they are very important for me (I write C++
programs). So, how may I edit the keyboard map? I'd like to have a
solution for "old" and "new" XFree keyboard implementation... 

Bye!
