I had used Debian Slink on my Sun Ultra 10 free of problems, but now

The keyboard works OK out of the X enviroment, but whem the X is

Hi,
What xserver are you using?
Xsun or Xfree86?
If you have xsun you should remove the gpm package. xsun and gpm are
conflicting.
You may use the xmodmap to redefine your keyboard.
xkeycaps can help you to find your keyboard.
If you have xfree86 then you should change the /etc/X11/XF86Config

Hi,
You need to make some settings in XF86config-4, specify the keyboard as a
sun (not pc104 or whatever that i386 option is), and the type as type4,
use the relavent keymap such as us.
If that doesn't do it then I havent explained it correctly, in which
case I will have to look up my computer

Hi,
You may try to use xkeykaps and xmodmap from X.
For a general xmodmap definition look at the /etc/X11/Xmodmap file.

The keyboard mapping is wrong on my Ultra 5 running potato. It's correct at the
console but is wrong in X. How do I change the keymap that X uses?
Tim.
How do I confiure X so I don't get this:
(II) Keyboard Generic Keyboard handled by legacy driver

(**) Generic Mouse: Protocol: busmouse

(**) Option Device /dev/sunmouse

Thanks. As it turned out I did have xbase-clients 4.0.1 installed.
My problem was I had the XkbRules option wrong - I had left it as
xfree86, when its supposed to be sun for sparc hardware. Oops.
So for anyone else with similar problems the correct keyboard info was:
Section InputDevice
check that you have xbase-clients installed. I had a keyboard problem when
upgrading from 3.3.6 to 4.0 on an Intel. backspace sudenly stoped working.
Well, actually it worked as Del, which is anoying. When I went to check
the error messages it complained about not being able to load XKB map same
I've been having problems with keymaps under XFree 4.0.1 as well.

Yes, it sure is. I already investigated this on a Sparc Classic
There are two solutions:
- Mark gpm as conflicting with Xsun
- Modify the Xsun source to ignore the ioctl() errors so it will work with
/dev/gpmdata
I think this is a release-critical bug, it will break X on every Sun using
the Xsun server.
Please file these bug reports. Branden

As promised, I've looked in to the keyboard repeat rate problem, and I've

kbdrate as shipped in util-linux talks to a PC keyboard to set its repeat rate
