Bug#483946: xserver-xorg recommends non-working sun keyboard type
* Bernhard R. Link [EMAIL PROTECTED] [080602 07:57]: /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg seems to list sun4/sun5/sun6 instead. But if you've tested that choosing type4 or type5 works, then we'll keep that. Actually, after reading the files I think only sun4/sun5/sun6 will actually work for the localized variants. After actually testing this, I have to correct both things: sun5 does not work (not even in us), while type5 does work both for us and de. (even AltGr seems to work) Hochachtungsvoll, Bernhard R.

(even AltGr seems to work) I've finally found the really correct solution: To use type 5 keyboards, use sun6. This even makes the Compose-key and all those other special keys work. This is coherent with base.xml's description of sun6: model configItem namesun6/name descriptionSun Type 5/6/description vendorSun Microsystems/vendor /configItem /model Looks like sun5 support was merged into sun6 and sun5 simply abandoned.

* Julien Cristau [EMAIL PROTECTED] [080601 18:01]: I think the following has also to be changes (in the following template): | With the sun rule set: | - type4: Sun Type4 keyboards; | - type5: Sun Type5 keyboards. I think type4 and type5 are still correct, but the 'With the sun rule set:' line should be removed now. /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg seems to list sun4/sun5/sun6 instead. But if you've tested that choosing type4 or type5 works, then we'll keep that. Actually, after reading the files I think only sun4/sun5/sun6 will actually work for the localized variants. The problem is that sun4 and sun5 currently cause an error message because of #469335. (But strangely type5 and sun5 seem to only differ in the error message, not in the resulting keymap).

Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.3+11 xserver-xorg's debconf template states: | Users of most keyboards should enter xorg. Users of Sun Type 4 and Type | 5 keyboards, however, should enter sun. Currently the only way to get Sun Keyboard to work seems to be to enter xorg here, too. I think the following has also to be changes (in the following template): | With the sun rule set: | - type4: Sun Type4 keyboards; | - type5: Sun Type5 keyboards. I think type4 and type5 are still correct, but the 'With the sun rule set:' line should be removed now. Hochachtungsvoll, Bernhard R.

It looks like xorg is the only remaining choice for xkbrules, so we probably could drop that question completely.
