I've searched their forums without luck. I guess I'll actually have to ask. I was hoping that the people who figured out how to make the Sun keyboard work with the Sun version of Gnome would be on this list, and would be able to tell me how they did it. I've certainly seen messages about fixes in this area, discrepancies between x86 and SPARC, etc.
Again, I've figured out how to make Front work. The issue is with Cut/Copy/Paste. I'm not even sure if there's a centralized Gnome control or mapping for those functions that will apply in other programs such as Firefox and gnome-terminal.
