The /etc/X1/xkbd/symbols/sun/us file has a problem. I had the same
problem, and still have problems with my type5c keyboard. I suggest
comment out your "Kbd*" options in XF86Config-4, it will then default to
~ x86 qwerty layout which will work, though without the sun special keys.
I'm trying to create a whomle new keyboard for xkb, but I am stuck. It
seems that kernel 2.6 doesn't handle sun keyboards well, or at least
differently of 2.4 (I have to switch to kernel default keymap in
console-data to have a working console). I have tested with 2.6.8 debian
kernel, 2.6.10 (debian source ? I don't remember if there is one) and
2.6.11-rc2 from kernel.org.
Here is how I proceed :
I log on my sparc with ssh, edit the config files, and run :
XFree86 &
xev
then I move the mouse on xev window, press keys on the sun keyboard and
watch the results.
The problem is that keys react differently sometimes. Once "help"
returns one keystroke (221 iirc, 2 events for press & release), other
time it will output 3 keystrokes (2 events for each). Sometimes "esc"
will return 6, sometimes 5. "open" returns 335 iirc, which is obviously
wrong.
As I'm not used either to sun hardware nor to xkb, I'm affraid I can't
help much more...
