Posted: Fri Sep 19, 2003 2:19 pm Post subject: XFree86 Keyboard Problem |
|
|
I have an Ultra5 with Type6 (non-USB) keyboard. I can get the graphical parts of X working properly, but the keyboard mappings are totally wrong. I've tried playing with the Keyboard options in XF86Config to no avail. The keyboard works fine in a console. Can somebody with a similar setup post their keyboard configuration section from XF86Config? _________________ --

I replied to him, but for all to see :
make sure all of this is in your /etc/X11/XF86Config:
Code:
Option "XkbRules" "sun"
Option "XkbModel" "type5"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Someone gave me that same fix when I asked last month.

if you also have problems with the keys not corresponding to the proper letters, add this line to Section "ServerLayout"
:
Code: |
Option "HandleSpecialKeys" "Always"

I just got my keyboard working on a Sun Ultra 5 with Type 6 (non-USB) keyboard, and here's what was required in XF86Config:
Code: | Option "XkbModel" "sun"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbKeycodes" "sun(type5)" |
I also have the following, but I'm unsure if it added any functionality, but it doesn't appear to break anything:
Code: | Option "XkbCompat" "compat/complete"
Option "XkbTypes" "types/complete"
Option "XkbGeometry" "sun" |
I got all of this from a rather exhaustive search on Google, and I also came across some suggestions which explicitly didn't work on my setup, including one which was suggested above:
Code: | Option "XkbRules" "sun"
Option "XkbModel" "type5"
Option "XkbSymbols" "sun/us(sun5)" |
If any of those last three were in the XF86Config file, it would result in keymap shifting. If I recall correctly, two shifted the keys one direction and the other shifted them the opposite. Very strange. Anybody know why that happens or why settings which work for some people don't work for others using similar hardware and software versions?
