            You want to leave this disabled if you run a desktop environment
            like KDE, Gnome, Xfce, etc, as those handle such things themselves.
            You might want to enable this if you run a minimalistic desktop
            environment or work from bare linux ttys/framebuffers.

            Enabling this will turn on <option>services.actkbd</option>.
