I'm guessing this may have to do with the fact that with 2.6 kernels Sun keyboards are presented as having a 'normal' at-keyboard layout. They've probably tried to fix this by changing the keymap, forgetting that for 2.4 kernels the old 'real' sun layout needs to be supported. > The question is, what the "include"-line for.

I'm new in Debian-Lists so how do i shall proceed? Best think is first check the changelog for the package xlibs to see if you can find an indication of why the change was made. You can use the "C" key for that in xlibs or else look on packages.debian.org (don't forget to select 'sarge' on the form). You'll have to check the changelog for both the -9 and -10 versions! The lists are _not_ useful here. The Bug Tracking System is. See bugs.debian.org for more info. Read some existing reports in the BTS for the xlibs package to get a feel for them. The next step is to file a bug using 'reportbug xlibs' (if the problem has not been reported already, but I wouldn't think so). I'd suggest severity 'important'. Give the bug a usefull title like 'Sun5 keyboard no longer works after xlibs update' and explain the problems and the way you fixed them as best you can. (You could maybe add my theory, but could also leave it to the maintainer to figure out the cause of the problem. I'm not really sure if the theory is correct; the changelog may tell you more.) Cheers, FJP
