Debian, X, Ultra 5, Type 6 keyboard
Many moons ago, I asked the question in here about how to get a Type 6
keyboard working under X with Debian...
No one was able to help me. I've even had a few people strike the same
problem and email me since then...
Well, today, I can announce that I've found a valuable use for Red Hat on
Sparc, looking at it's XF86Config file :-)
You need to put these lines in your keyboard section and all becomes good:
XkbRules "sun"
XkbModel "type5"
XkbLayout "us"
XkbCompat "compat/complete"
XkbTypes "types/complete"
XkbKeycodes "sun(type5)"
XkbGeometry "sun"
XkbSymbols "sun/us(sun5)"
I'm happy now...
