 |
|
I have three Ultra10:s with Swedish type5c keyboards running Gentoo-sources 2.6.11-r8 and X.org 6.8.2-r2 with the SunFFB XAA patch. Initially, I used Ferris McCormick's sample xorg.conf from http://dev.gentoo.org/~fmccor/docs/xorg/xorg.conf/xorg.conf.html, with XkbLayout "se" instead of "en_US", but with that the bucky bit keys didn't work right.
According to "xev", the Meta keys gave keycodes for Super, and Emacs interpreted Alt as Meta. This is annoying, so I searched both these forums and Google for a while before I found that adding | Code: | | Option "XkbSymbols" "sun/se(sun5)" |
to the keyboard section of xorg.conf made it work.
This post is mainly here so that others can search for it, but I guess I might as well ask a few questions:
- Why are the bucky bit keys wrong in the default setup? From what I can understand of /usr/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/sun/se, I'd think all Swedish type5 keymaps should already include symbols from sun/se(sun5).
- Is adding the explicit XkbSymbols directive the Right Way to solve this?
- What happens on a US keyboard? Should the sample configuration be changed to include this (with "us" instead of "se", obviously)?
Here's the entire keyboard section for completeness:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "type5"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbLayout" "se"
Option "XkbGeometry" "sun(type5)"
Option "XkbSymbols" "sun/se(sun5)"
EndSection |
