Ok, so I managed to get what I thought was a working configuration until I tried to type in twm. All sorts of errors. What should I have in my xorg.conf file for the keyboard. My box is an Ultra10 and my keyboard is a Type5c.

Thanks

It depends on the kernel. If you look here -- http://dev.gentoo.org/~fmccor/docs/xorg/xorg.conf/xorg.conf.html --
you can see the complete configuration files I am currently using (one fot kernel 2.4.26, one
for kernel 2.6.6). Much of these will be wrong for you, but the keyboards
will be close. In particular, with a 2.4.x kernel, something like this is about
riight for type5:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier  "Keyboard0"
  Driver      "keyboard"
  Option      "Protocol"    "Standard"
  Option      "XkbKeycodes" "sun(type5)"
  Option      "XkbModel"    "type5"
  Option      "XkbRules"    "sun"
  Option      "XkbLayout"   "en_US"
  Option      "XkbGeometry" "sun(type5)"
EndSection



Hope some of this helps.
Regards,

I should have mentioned that you also probably want
Code:

  Option        "HandleSpecialKeys" "Always"

in your ServerLayout section.
