* <code>services.xserver.exportConfiguration</code>: Makes it so the above mentioned xkb directory (and the <code>xorg.conf</code> file) gets exported to <code>/etc/X11/xkb</code>, which is useful if you have to often look stuff up in it.

* <code>services.xserver.~~xkbDir~~</code>: Allows you to set a different xkb directory altogether. All the above mentioned things will use this instead of the default one in regards to xkb stuff.

* <code>services.xserver.xkb.dir</code>: Allows you to set a different xkb directory altogether. All the above mentioned things will use this instead of the default one in regards to xkb stuff.

* <code>console.useXkbConfig</code>: Makes it so the tty console has about the same layout as the one configured in the <code>services.xserver</code> options.
