How to enable sticky keys by specifying individual components in xorg?

I am trying to learn how to customize my keyboard in x by specifying the individual components in xorg.conf, but it doesn't seem to be working. In fact it may just be ignoring it completely. Here is what I have:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "keyboard"

        Option  "XkbKeycodes"      "xfree86"
        Option  "XkbTypes"         "default"
        Option  "XkbCompat"        "accessx"
        Option  "XkbSymbols"       "us"
        Option  "XkbGeometry"      "pc(pc104)"
EndSection


Should this give me sticky keys or have I done something wrong? By the way I want to know how to do it this way since it will allow me greater customization ability in the future once I learn it a bit better.

Nah that doesn't work, but it shouldn't need rules since I have specified all the components needed right? Anyhow that is my goal here, to do it all manually. If I can just get one custom config like this working, then I can hopefully use it as a stepping stone to figure out how to change other stuff. If you follow this link: http://www.charvolant.org/~doug/xkb/htm … 0000000000 I am trying to do it the "hard way".

cheers

Re: How to enable sticky keys by specifying individual components in xorg?

yeah its been disabled pretty much since i installed the x server. Here is the output from Xorg.0.log:

(**) Option "CoreKeyboard"
(**) Keyboard0: always reports core events
(**) Option "Protocol" "standard"
(**) Keyboard0: Protocol: standard
(**) Option "XkbRules" "base"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbRules: "base"
(**) Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbModel: "pc105"
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "us"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbLayout: "us"
(**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off"
(**) Keyboard0: CustomKeycodes disabled
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard0" (type: KEYBOARD)

the (**) means its been taken from the config file, but those options aren't from my xorg.conf file. I checked the Xorg.0.log to make sure its using the right file  which it is.
