RE: Problem with X on an Ultra 5
I had the same problem. anXious configured my keyboard incorrectly (I own a
french SUN keyboard). I looked at XFconfig and realised that the keyboard
was not configured and I couldn't even kill X due to a bad mapping. For the
mouse anXious dit not give the right protocol.
This the XF86Config section for my mouse and keyboard : (French keyboard
!!)
# These are the XKB settings determined by Xconfigurator
# and/or changed by the administrator
XkbRules "sun"
XkbModel "type5_euro"
XkbLayout "fr"
XkbCompat "compat/complete"
XkbTypes "types/complete"
XkbKeycodes "sun(type5)"
XkbGeometry "sun(type5euro)"
XkbSymbols "sun/fr(sun5)"
EndSection
