Bug#179443: UK Sun-type5 Keymapissue
package: xfree86
version: 4.2.1-5
severity: grave
-- System Information
Debian Release: 3.0
Architecture: sparc
Kernal Linux trinity 2.4.18 #2 Thu Apr 11 14:37:17 EDT 2002 sparc64
Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
The only way to get a UK keyboard to work with the right mapping is to select the default US type 5 Keymap and edit the setting at command prompt before loading X window (If you load X you have had it as all the kays move 1 to left on first 3 rows and other are in odd places or not there at all).
I got it working by using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
Option "Xkbrules" "sun"
Option "XkbModel" "type5_euro"
Option "Xkblayout" "gb"
