Package: xkb-data
Version: 1.3-1

Using
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "kbd"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "type5"

I miss some keys on my Sun Type 5c keyboard..
Always first the keycode and current binding (as reported by xev),
then what is written on the key and my suggestions in parenthes.

keyblock to the left:

keycode 232 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)
Stop (SunStop or XF86Stop)

keycode 134 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)
Props (SunProps)

keycode 140 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)
Front (SunFront)

keycode 191 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)
Open (SunOpen or XF86Open)

keycode 122 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)
Find (Find)

keycode 133 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)
Again (Redo or SunAgain)

keycode 135 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)
Undo (Undo)

keycode 248 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)
Copy (XF86Copy or SunCopy)

keycode 192 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)
Paste (XF86Paste or SunPaste)

keycode 188 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)
Cut (XF86Cut or SunCut)

* keys above the num pad:

keycode 160 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)
Mute / Degauss (XF86AudioMute or SunAudioMute/SunVideoDegauss)

keycode 174 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)
Quiet / Dim (XF86AudioLowerVolume or SunAudioLowerVolume/SunLowerBrightness)

keycode 176 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)
Loud / Bright (XF86AudioRaiseVolume or SunAudioRaiseVolume/SunRaiseBrightness)

* keys left of the Fnum keys:

keycode 245 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)
Help (Help)

keycode 239 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)
unlabeled key between Help and F1
(I guess having that without sym does not harm)

Also
keycode 117 (keysym 0xff67, Menu)
is labeled compose, so I consider Menu unstead of Multi_key quite
irritating.

The proper solution seems to be to use sun6 instead, i.e.:
| Section "InputDevice"
|         Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
|         Driver          "kbd"
|         Option          "XkbRules"      "base"
|         Option          "XkbModel"      "sun6"
|         Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"
| EndSection

This has all the keys bound correctly (it produces some warnings,
but those tell that some keys are multiply named and it uses the
correct names).

Thus the only problem is that using sun6 for type 5 keyboards
is quite unintuitive (though documented in base.{lst,xml}).
