Re: Keyboard input with a type5 keyboard is b0rked.

Probaly the same as bug #178465
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=178465



in /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/sun:

xkb_keycodes "type6_euro" {
    include "sun(type6)"
    <LSGT> =  94;
}


should be:


xkb_keycodes "type6_euro" {
    include "sun(type6)"
    <LSGT> =  94;
};

(just add the semicolon)
