I use a Sun Type 7 UNIX-layout USB keyboard. X detects the keyboard: (II) config/hal: Adding input device Sun USB Keyboard (**) Sun USB Keyboard: always reports core events (**) Sun USB Keyboard: Device: "/dev/input/event2" (II) Sun USB Keyboard: Found keys (II) Sun USB Keyboard: Configuring as keyboard (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Sun USB Keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD) (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev" (**) Sun USB Keyboard: xkb_rules: "evdev" (**) Option "xkb_model" "pc105" (**) Sun USB Keyboard: xkb_model: "pc105" (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us" (**) Sun USB Keyboard: xkb_layout: "us" But it wrongly detects it as a standard pc105 US keyboard. This means some keys don't work (e.g. Meta becomes Super, Compose becomes Menu, etc.). The correct layout for this keyboard is "us+sun_vndr/usb(sun_usb)". Setting this with "setxkbmap -layout" makes the keyboard behave as expected.

(Type 6 keyboards were made in versions for both the traditional Sun/SPARC serial connector and USB, while only USB versions of Type 7 are made, since they postdate the EOL of the machines that used the older connectors.) The main differences between Type 6 & 7 are physical (embedded USB hub to plug in mice, flash drives, etc. ; RoHS-compliant materials ; updated appearance).

For at least the Type 6 keyboard there are at least two layouts: PC layout and UNIX layout. The UNIX layout has the capslock and control keys switched and I believe the Escape key was also moved. Another difference is that the power key was changed to a standby key (same keycode, but different icon printed on the key?)

Unfortunately, this is still unfixed. Super is still meta, compose is still menu, etc. The log reports: (II) config/udev: Adding input device HID 0430:0005 (/dev/input/event4) (**) HID 0430:0005: Applying InputClass "evdev keyboard catchall" (**) HID 0430:0005: always reports core events (**) HID 0430:0005: Device: "/dev/input/event4" (II) HID 0430:0005: Found keys (II) HID 0430:0005: Configuring as keyboard (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "HID 0430:0005" (type: KEYBOARD) (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev" (**) Option "xkb_model" "pc105" (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us" ** Changed in: xkeyboard-config (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- Sun Type 7 USB keyboard misdetected by X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yeah, i just bought the Sun Ultra 24 and i was really hoping that this would work Now it seems useless. -- Sun Type 7 USB keyboard misdetected by X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Judging from the X log output excerpt, this would be a evdev-related bug. ** Package changed: ubuntu => xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu) -- Sun Type 7 USB keyboard misdetected by X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same for me on an Ultra 24 - I have a Sun Type 7 USB PC Keyboard. No Keyboard option for a Type 7 keyboard in the Keyborad options either.
