Sun type 5 keyboard on an ultra 10

[simon_6162]

Hello all,

This is my first play about with gentoo on a sparc machine and so far it looks really impressive. I've compiled a 2.4.31 kernel and got everything running on in a terminal.

I've installed xorg xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1 along with gnome. The problem I have is that all my keys along the top row of my type5 keyboard seem out of place. eg pressing r prints t, and then the bottom row of keys is completely wrong.

Attached is my keyboard section from my xorg.conf file.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "Protocol" "Standard"
Option "XkbKeycodes" "sun(type5)"
Option "XkbModel" "type5"
Option "XkbRules" "sun"
Option "XkbLayout" "en_US"
Option "XkbTypes" "types/complete"
Option "XkbCompat" "compat/complete"
Option "XkbGeometry" "sun(type5unix)"
EndSection

Is there a simple solution to this ? If not can any one tell me how you get the key codes from the keyboard and if it is possible to make a new keymap file.

Thanks for you time

Simon

Well to answer my own question I re-mapped the keyboard so that the x events my keyboard is sending are now mapped to match the symbols that I want.

If people have the same problem replace /usr/lib/X11/xkb/keycodes/sun with the one below!

If people need this for a type 4 keyboard it should be the same as 5 however here is how I created the type5

Start x and running xev from a terminal (i had to use the mouse to copy and paste letters from a mozilla page into gnomes run command then note down all the keys and there matching keycodes on a piece of paper.

Now exit X and edit
/usr/lib/X11/xkb/keycodes/sun

on a second terminal open (eg ctrl + alt + F2)
/usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/sun/us

Use the second file to find the key reference (eg F1 is knows to xorg as FK01)
then go to the first file and edit the keycode to match FK01

When you have finished this you need to edit the min and max at the top of the keycodes section so they reflext the smallest and largest keycodes you keyboad sends.

I hope this helps Allot of people

Regards

Simon

// Modified Simon Dible 8th July 2005
// Remaped sun type 5 for gentoo 2.4.31 kernel with
// xorg-x11 6.8.2........
// using keyboard driver
// I have used xev to get the keycodes being sent and then mapped them to the current keys.
// All I can say is this works for me
// This solves the problem of most of the keys being displaced by one.
