Cannot really say - normaly i am using the kbd driver, because there were 
large problems with the support of the sun usb keyboard. Due to Xorg/KDE (dual 
head problems) or other updates now and then my xorg.conf gets messed up/reset 
and i have to start again. That happend again when i realised the UP key was 
not working anymore while using evdev driver.

Today i changed my graphic card and generated a new xorg.conf. Strange enough 
the arrow keys are working now with the evdev driver. KDE/kwin problem?

(II) Module evdev: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 1.7.6.901, module version = 2.3.2
        Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
        ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 7.0
(**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
(**) Option "xkb_model" "sun6"
(**) Option "xkb_layout" "de"

Best regards,
Stefan
