Thanks. As it turned out I did have xbase-clients 4.0.1 installed.
My problem was I had the XkbRules option wrong - I had left it as
"xfree86", when its supposed to be "sun" for sparc hardware. Oops.
So for anyone else with similar problems the correct keyboard info was:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "sun"
Option "XkbModel" "type4"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Thanks,
Jim
