Hello All
We are currently try to attach IBM-PS2-Keyboards via a ps2usb to the Sun
Ray dtus. But I can see some strange happening. First I had to create a
new keyboard mapping file. Because the adapter is not "type 6"?
compliant or reports a wrong locale. This was partially working for some
time. But I recognized that some keys are "dead" at all. For sample.
the greater/less/backslash key (swiss german keyboard) remains
completely dead. Even the xev could not receive any event when pressing
this key.
And now when I try to apply the above keyboard mapping file it reports
always:
xmodmap: /opt/app/etc/xmodmap/ibm_swiss_layout.kbd:229: bad keycode
value (out of range)
... and some more lines
xmodmap: 19 errors encountered, aborting.
I'm completely confused and see that I'm not really aware of the
internals of tis Sun Ray environment. Because of this I would like to
ask the following questions:
- How are the keyboard events routed through the Sun RAY System (based
on the dead key problem, I assume that there must be a other layer which
doesn't accepts the greater/less/backslash key.
- How can I see which keyboard is recognized by the system when its
plugged into the dtu?
- How is this whole concept of the Sun Ray system built in kind of
locales, keyboard layouts etc.
I'm completely new to the Sun Ray and solaris environment because I'm
comming from the linux world by which I have long term experiences. I
gonna like this Sun Ray system more and more because its stability but
it is all so strange to me. Any help is really welcome.
Many thanks
Roland Kaeser
