   I usually place some file in xorg.conf.d:   
      
   86-maxclients.conf   
   90-keyboard-layout.conf   
      
   Sometimes I also put one more file there:   
      
   85-dpms.conf   
      
      
   The first file is to avoid annoying failures when trying to open more   
   than 256 windows:   
      
   cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/86-maxclients.conf   
   # Set max clients to maximum value 512 instead of default 256   
      
   Section "ServerFlags"   
       Option "MaxClients"    "512"   
   EndSection   
      
      
   The second file is to get a swedish (same as finish) keyboard layout:   
      
   cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keyboard-layout.conf   
   Section "InputClass"   
           Identifier "keyboard-all"   
           MatchIsKeyboard "on"   
           MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"   
           Driver "evdev"   
           Option "XkbLayout" "fi"   
           Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"   
           Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"   
   EndSection   
      
      
   My optional third file is power saving settings for the monitor:   
      
   cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/85-dpms.conf   
   # Turn off monitor at inactivity   
      
   Section "Monitor"   
       Identifier "Monitor0"   
       Option "DPMS" "true"   
   EndSection   
      
   Section "ServerFlags"   
       Option "BlankTime"    "20"   
       Option "StandbyTime"  "30"   
       Option "SuspendTime"  "40"   
       Option "OffTime"      "50"   
   EndSection   
      
   I can easily come to think of situations when someone want different   
   settings for different machines. It would be possible to put all those   
   settings in the same file in the xorg.conf.d directory, but splitting up   
   different settings in different files does loook nice.   
      
   regards Henrik
