 |
|
hi,
got a problem with the kexboard(type6, should be type6 euro, i think) xorg running on my U30.
starting X finishes without any errors/messages about warnings. after opening a terminal (xterm whatever...) the keys are weird - pressing "a" types a "s" and pressing "s" types a "d"..you know what i mean? eben the numlock & enter keys are elsewhere, but not there where they should be..
my xorg.conf inputdevice-section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier"Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbKeycodes" "sun(type6_euro)"
Option "Protocol" "Standard"
Option "XkbRules" "sun"
Option "XkbModel" "type6"
Option "XkbKeymap" "type6_de"
i'm running kernel 2.4.27. Anyone got an idea what causes this? my target is a german layout running on X...
Greets,
Hendrik |

First of all, please change the driver to
because the xorg "kbd" driver does not work correctly with kernel-2.4.xx and sun keyboards. The failure is just what you are seeing:
a-key --> 's' and so on.
Second, you will probably have better luck treating your keyboard as type5 and then experimenting. For example,
there does not seem to be any keymap "type6_de" in the available xorg keymaps, although the Keycodes for sun(type6_euro) might work for you. |
