>// This is a Devanagari/Hindi keyboard layout for XFree86 4.3.0 with a
>// pc104/us keyboard.

>// 1 Intro___________________________________________________________________
>//
>// I read the Indian Linux Project's Hindi map (inscript.hi.xkb) for guidance,
>// and then rewrote this map from scratch for XFree86 4.3.0 (ex: "us,dev").
>// While this map, I noticed a few differences with other commercial keyboard
>// maps, and tried making this map (IMHO) a decent merger of all of them plus a
>// couple extra keys here and there such as including "/" and "\" to facilitate
>// typing file names.  In other words, if you were used to typing on Devanagari
>// keyboards for other systems, I hope this one will be comfortable as well.
>//
>// Why did I just start yet-another-hindi keyboard map?  The existing maps I
>// found were either for older releases of XFree86 and didn't attempt to
>// facilitate some of the latest key mapping niceties of 4.3.0, or the maps
>// were just missing a few characters here and there, and I couldn't figure out
>// why.
>//
>// Standard disclaimer: I didn't put any mischievous macros .oO(rm -rf /) in
>// here, but even so, You agree to take full responsibility for any positive or
>// negative effects this keyboard map may have on your computing life.
>//
>// Feel free to use this map, and please send me any advice on how to improve
>// it for my personal machine.  :)

>// 2 Change Log______________________________________________________________
>//
>// September 2003 -- David Holl <smyrph+dev_xkb@ece.wpi.edu>
>//	. based on previous maps from XFree86 and otehr platforms
>//	. designed to play well with XFree86 4.3.0's multiple-group scheme
>//	. checked & added some keys to match the Unicode + INSCRIPT standards
>//	  (like ZWNJ & ZWJ, and some extras to match MS's Devanagari layout...)
>//	. added example usage: setxkmap & XF86Config
>//
>// March 2004 -- David Holl <smyrph+dev_xkb@ece.wpi.edu>
>//	. minor clean up
>//
>//
>// 3 Installation____________________________________________________________
>//
>// 1) Put this file with the rest of your XFree86 xkb maps.
>//		cp devanagari.xkb /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/dev
>//
>// 2) Tell X to load the keyboard map.
>//	You have two choices:
>//		A) modify /etc/X11/XF86Config (loads map at start of X)
>//		B) run setxkbmap from command line
>//
>//
>// 3.A Installation: XF86Config
>//
>// Here's an example XF86Config section:
>//
>//	Section	"InputDevice"
>//	# Identifier & Driver need to match your existing configuration:
>//		Identifier	"Keyboard1"
>//		Driver	"keyboard"
>//
>//	# You don't need this AutoRepeat line; it's a personal preference...
>//		Option	"AutoRepeat"	"250 50"
>//
>//	# XkbRules & XkbModel should probably also match your current config:
>//		Option	"XkbRules"	"xfree86"
>//		Option	"XkbModel"	"pc104"
>//
>//	# These are important: XkbLayout & XKbOptions.  
>//	# Append ",dev" to your layout, to load the devanagari keyboard in addition
>//	# to your current layout:
>//	#	Option	"XkbLayout"	"us"
>//		Option	"XkbLayout" "us,dev"
>//
>//	# XKbOptions: tell the driver to switch between the us & dev layouts when
>//	# you press both shift keys:
>//		Option	"XkbOptions" "grp:shift_toggle"
>//	# Tell XKB to use Right_Ctrl key for selecting 3rd and 4th levels (dev):
>//		Option	"XkbOptions" "lv3:switch"
>//	EndSection
>//
>//
>// 3.B Installation: setxkbmap
>// Alternatively, if you cannot or don't want to edit your XF86Config, try
>// this from the command line:
>//
>//	setxkbmap -rules xfree86 -model pc104 -layout "us,dev" \
>//		-option "grp:shift_toggle" -option "lv3:switch"
>//
>//
>// 4 Debugging_______________________________________________________________
>//
>// If your X client and server reside on different machines, try:
>// (this also dumps occasionally-useful error messages when debugging)
>//	setxkbmap ... blah blah ... -print | xkbcomp - $DISPLAY
