Sun keyboard (Type6) does not work in X
Hi,

X starts and mouse works. Some keys work but not all (z, x, c, v, b, n, m, ENTER and a number of other keys don't work).

Kerboard works well without X, however.

Hardware: UltraSparc IIi
Keyboard: Swedish Keyboard, Type6
Kernel Version: 2.4.29-sparc
X11 Version: 6.8.2
BTW, x11 was installed with --usepkg from the package CD.

Here is the parameters of your interest:

In /etc/init.d/rc.conf
KEYMAP="sunkeymap"
In /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "Protocol" "Standard"
Option "XkbKeycodes" "sun(type6)"
Option "XkbModel" "type6"
Option "XkbRules" "sun"
Option "XkbLayout" "se"
Option "XkbTypes" "types/complete"
Option "XkbCompat" "compat/complete"
Option "XkbGeometry" "sun(type6unix)"

I also tried to use "en_US" in XkbLayout field, but it did not work either.

I found the following information in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and console output:

(EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap

Thanks!
