Hello,

did anybody succeed with correct XKB setup on SRSS running on a Debian
stable server?
I had to upgrade the Debian distro from oldstable few days ago, which
introduced some trouble with SRSS 3.1 installed at the moment (XKB
broken etc.).
As from the web it seemed that xkb should be working fairly well with
SRSS 4.0 and furthermore I wanted to test the Windows Connector,
I upgraded SRSS to 4.0.
I followed the procedure on the sun-rays wiki describing installation
on Debian - up to the point regarding kernel modules compilation,
which I did not want to carry out at the moment.

To get it working, it was necessary to:
(1) Modify utprodinfo not to return the final \\n for /opt as
installation directory (maybe introduced in some of the patches
described on the Wiki?)

(2) Create particular symlinks:
cd /usr/lib/
ln -s /usr/lib/liblber.so.2 liblber.so.199
ln -s libldap.so.199 libldap.so.2

(3) Avoid the "Failed to disable kiosk mode" error in logs:
touch /etc/opt/SUNWkio/kioskrc

(4) Yes and one return -> exit replacement in some shell script
    (errors from utconfig script...)

Finally I enable the xkb for all clients, restarted SRSS and
voila... ...Gnome complains about error while reading the xkb
database, KDE happily switches layout, but it has no effect.

In Gnome keyboard layout settings dialog I see no layouts -
as from strace outputs it looks like one has to create and fill
an xorg.xml file similar to xfree86.xml supplied with libklavier.
Hmm, but not even a simple setxbmap call works...

But - is there anybody with xkb support working on SRSS 4 and Debian,
either knowing what's the problem or able to kick me in the right
direction?

Thanks a lot for any hints

Vaclav Stepan
