Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2003 12:39 am Post subject: SparcStation 5 and X? |
|
|
First the machine:
SparcStation 5 110MHz
256MB Ram
2x9.1GB HDDS Internal
72GB Raid Array External
Type5c keyboard
Sun GDM-17E10 Monitor
Sun CG6 craphics
The graphics work fine, the mouse works fine. Even the sound works, but I cannot make the KB work right.
Is there some peice of documentation somewhere that tells the settings that can be used in the keyboard setup in XF86Config?
I have tried many, many, many combinations to get X working correctly.
Right now I have:
Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "sun"
Option "XkbModel" "type5c_unix"
Option "XkbLayout" "en_US"
Option "XkbKeymap" "type5c_unix"
EndSection |
I have to ssh in and kill all the x proceses after I startx to get the cli back. I've tried all those same flags without the "_unix". I've tried just type5, type6, and nothing I find on the web seems to work. |

Try using these options. They're straight out of my X config file. The file is for an Ultra5, but X is X is X.
Option "XkbRules" "sun"
Option "XkbModel" "type5"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Drop a line back here if it works, so we can look for something else if this doesn't do the trick. _________________ -Todd <todd@gentoo.org>

trie that first, and it's a no-go.
Doesn't even respond like that.
When I use 5c or 6 with what you have then the keys are all jumbled up. A=capslock, s=a, d=s, f=d, b=shift, n=z, and the whole kb is out of whack like that. some keys do nothing, and others are from 1 to 10 keys out of place. |

I've had success with:
Code: | XkbModel sun
XkbLayout us
XkbKeycodes sun(type5) |
That is for an Ultra 5 with a Type 6 (non-USB) keyboard--YMMV. In particular, however, using
resulted in key shifting for me, as you've described. See my other forum post on this topic for the full list of what seems to be required, what seems to work, and what definitely doesn't work in my setup. Just keep trying different combinations of the various settings--that's how I arrived at it.
(If your mouse is working, left-click on empty desktop and select "Kill" and then click the skull on the leftmost terminal (in twm) to kill the X-session, if CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE won't work due to keyboard issues.) |

I meant to update this when I got it working, but forgot to. Any way I ended up using: Code: | XkbModel sun
XkbLayout us
XkbKeycodes sun(type5c) |
Everything works fine now except sound doesn't work as well as I thought it did. I get crazy glitches when the file is more than about a second. The wav I tested with worked, but it was short. I can't play MP3's, or listen to CDs, or even wans correctly. Not that it's any big deal, but I jsut like to know I gt everything working. |
