Re: Sun UK type 5 keymap
Maybe slightly related : Sparc 10 with UK keyboard Version 3.0 official
installed OK but the backslash and pipe key wouldn't work.
I had to do the following before the machine was any real use:-
Using dpkg-reconfigure console-data
layout family Type 5
keys layout British
Using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
Option "XkbRules" "sun"
Option "XkbModel" "type5_euro"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
