Re: problem with sun/us in XFree on sarge
Hi all.
I recently updateted my Sarge installation on my Ultra 30 and had the same
problem since then. US type 5 keyboard, installed in english.
Today I first changed the XF86config-4 according to the advice below - didn't
help. Then I removed the ';' as described in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2005/01/msg00085.html (see below) - same
problem.
Then I returned to my original XF86config-4 (';' still removed):
Option "XkbRules" "sun"
Option "XkbModel" "type5"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
... and it works!
