Hello, I hope someones got an answer for
this, I've been looking for days...
many thanks in advance to anyone who posts.
I'm running suse-sparc7.3 on a ss20 and
I can't get a uk keymap in x, simple as
that. I want to do it manually by editing
configuration files....
maybe if I had a sun model 5 uk keyboard
sax2_sbus would recognise it and
configure the files for me, but
unfortunately I'm using a uk ps2 through
a belkin adapter which emulates a
sun model 5 us keyboard, so thats what
automatic configuration programs give me
- a us keymap.
I've found it easy to set up a couple
of custom keys by editing the
'type 5' section of
/etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/sun but it's the _whole_
keymap I want to change.
my XF86Config says this:
section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard[0]"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "Protocol" "Standard"
Option "XkbKeycodes" "sun(type5)"
Option "XkbModel" "type5"
Option "XkbRules" "sun"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbGeometry" "sun(type5)"
Option "XkbSymbols" "sun/us(sun5)"
EndSection
There's a 'uk' keymap in /etc/X11/xkb/keymap/sun,
so I change "XkbLayout" from "us" to "uk"
but nothing changes.
So then I reckon I should do something about
that "XkbSymbols" option, cos it still says
'us', but the only other file except 'us'
in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/sun is 'se' which
gives me weird stuff.
As you can see, I don't know what I'm doing -
I don't really understand how these options
and files interact, and I can't find any
documentation on them.
Any ideas or pointers would be much appreciated!
cheers - chris
