Bug#271315: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-sparc64: sun keyboard problem : proposed fix

[Emmanuel Kasprzyk <kdev@no-log.org>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-sparc64
Version: 2.6.8-15
Followup-For: Bug #271315

Hello
I encountered also this problem while migrating from the kernel-image-2.4.19-sun4u (3.0 ) to kernel-image-2.6.8-2-sparc64, on a un ULTRA 10 with a Type5 keyboard.
If you do dpkg-reconfigure console-data, and then select "Keep kernel keymap" the keyboard will then work correctly on 2.4 AND 2.6 from your next reboot on.
This kernel keymap works fine for type qwerty, I guessed the problem will be still here for azerty.

It seems that the keymap definitions loaded when you select keymap from arch list in "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" is broken with kernel 2.6 I have no idea if this is a bug from the kernel, or if the keymaps have to be updated somehow.

Manu
