> I have a USb keyboard
Hmm, some messages ago you said that your
lshal output looked the same (with the exception
of the layout) compared to the sample that I
posted from my system. So I was expecting that
your system was using a PS/2 keyboard, too...
Apparently that was wrong?
On my laptop with internal PS/2 keyboard and
an external (non-self-identifying) USB keyboard,
lshal reports:
The PS/2 keyboard:
udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_0_0/isa_1f/i8042_1_60/keyboard_0_0_logicaldev_input'
input.x11_options.XkbVariant = '' (string)
input.x11_options.XkbLayout = 'de' (string)
input.x11_options.XkbModel = 'sun_type6_euro_usb' (string)
input.x11_options.mdriver = 'hotkey' (string)
input.x11_driver = 'kbd' (string)
input.x11_options.XkbRules = 'base' (string)
input.originating_device =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_0_0/isa_1f/i8042_1_60/keyboard_0_0' (string)
input.device = '/dev/kbd' (string)
info.category = 'input' (string)
info.subsystem = 'input' (string)
info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.keyboard', 'input.keys', 'button'}
(string list)
info.solaris.driver = 'kb8042' (string)
solaris.devfs_path = '/p...@0,0/i...@1f/i8...@1,60/keybo...@0' (string)
info.product = 'System keyboard' (string)
info.udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_0_0/isa_1f/i8042_1_60/keyboard_0_0_logicaldev_input'
(string)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_0_0/isa_1f/i8042_1_60_0'
(string)
And the USB keyboard
udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_0_0/pci1179_1_1a/hub_1/keyboard_4_if0_2_logicaldev_input'
input.x11_options.XkbVariant = '' (string)
input.x11_options.XkbLayout = 'de' (string)
input.x11_options.Protocol = 'VUID' (string)
input.x11_options.StreamsModule = 'usbkbm' (string)
input.x11_options.XkbModel = 'sun_type6_euro_usb' (string)
input.x11_options.mdriver = 'hotkey' (string)
input.x11_driver = 'kbd' (string)
input.x11_options.XkbRules = 'base' (string)
input.originating_device =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_0_0/pci1179_1_1a/hub_1/keyboard_4_if0_2'
(string)
input.device = '/dev/usb/hid1' (string)
info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.keyboard', 'input.keys', 'button'}
(string list)
info.category = 'input' (string)
info.subsystem = 'input' (string)
info.solaris.driver = 'hid' (string)
solaris.devfs_path = '/p...@0,0/pci1179,1...@1a/h...@1/keybo...@4:keyboard'
(string)
info.product = 'keyboard' (string)
info.udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_0_0/pci1179_1_1a/hub_1/keyboard_4_if0_2_logicaldev_input'
(string)
info.parent =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_0_0/pci1179_1_1a/hub_1/keyboard_4_if0_2'
(string)
These lshal properties are only present with the USB keyboard entry:
input.x11_options.Protocol = 'VUID' (string)
input.x11_options.StreamsModule = 'usbkbm' (string)
The input.device property is different, '/dev/kbd' vs. '/dev/usb/hidXX'
And info.solaris.driver is different, 'kb8042' vs. 'hid'
The kbd -l command is using the /dev/kbd device
to report the keyboard layout, but hald is using
/dev/usb/hidXX to find out the layout.
On my system, both devices /dev/kbd and /dev/usb/hidXX
do report layout 9, seems that on your system the
/dev/kbd reports layout 9 (DE), while the usb hid device
returns US layout?
Maybe your USB keyboard is a self-identifying one that
does return layout information? These comments for
defect 13262 might describe the problem:
https://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=13262#c16
https://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=13262#c17
https://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=13262#c18
My theory for an explanation would be that the
solaris usb keyboard driver thinks that the usb
hardware returned a valid keyboard country code
for your usb keyboard, and for that reason the
settings in eeprom and/or /etc/default/kbd are
ignored?
