You can download or order your own solaris 8 at
http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/software/
I have not read the license, but I don't think you can redistribute the
content as you like.

For your keyboard, you need a section like this in your XF86Config-4
file :
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Keyboard0"  
Driver  "keyboard"
Option  "CoreKeyboard"
Option  "XkbRules"  "sun"
Option  "XkbModel"  "type4"
Option  "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

OK, Sunos and Solaris are not really compatible, are they?

DANGEROUS ?? help needed

2001-02-26 Thread Gabor Zoltan Csejtey
I'm trying to compile perl-5.6.0 under potato.
There're some errors relating to the lib/ndbm and lib/anydbm.
I tried to comment out these. Finally I changed the 
debian/rules and
debian/config.debian 

and added to the Configure:
-Ui_ndbm

in the perl-5.6.0 source directory. STRANGE thing happend!!!
My whole /usr/bin directory was wiped out only two directories
remained there:

libc5-compat
mh

I was running dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b  as root from the perl source
directory which is located in a different location than /usr. 
Could the dpkg-buildpackage erase the contents of /usr/bin ? Or
something else happend?
The other libraries weren't effected I think. 

Anyway I downloaded the base2_2.tgz with netscape which is installed
under /usr/local and put the /usr/bin/* files from the archive into
/usr/bin.

Is there a way to rebuild the other parts of the system? I mean to get
the missing binaries under /usr/bin?

Hi,

in addition to what Gabor said, you might have a look at the programm
"xkbcomp". I once managed to change the keymap and X keyboard
symbols completely by first using
xkeycaps to modify it, then xkbcomp to "compile" a new keymap file which
then could be read without starting xkeycaps all the time.

I had to do this 'cause I had a X server running on a Sparc with Linux,
but the X client was a Solaris machine- and unfortunately the keymaps
between Linux and Solaris don't match! :(

Just have a look at "man xkbcomp". I'm sorry I don't know off hand where X
stores its keymaps by default, but this isn't a too complicated task to
discover.

Hi,

You can try the xkeycaps program from X and use xmodmap to overwrite
the keydefinition.

xkeycaps is in the xkeycaps package
xmodmap is in the xbase-clients package

Hello,

I am getting into desperation mode. I just installed debian on my
Sparc 2, I am trying to get X  to work. My keyboard is all messed
up. What do I have to do to get a type4 keyboard recognized? All of
the keys are wonky.  What keyboard driver/option do I have to set for
it to recognize this keyboard?

Also, is there no startx command with the debs?

You can use the tool kbdconfig to setup the keyboard, but it affect
the keyboard in console mode and I am not sure that X takes that into
account.

startx is in the xbase-clients packages
