I have a sun ultra 40 workstation and I use the sun type 7 keyboard.
Previously I was using opensuse 10.2 with KDE 3.5, but recently did a
fresh install of 11.1 and started using KDE 4.1. Now I can no longer
map all of the extra keys available on the type 7 keyboard. The only
keys that will map successfully are the audio control keys (keycodes
160, 174, and 176) and the Help key (keycode 245).
I don't have any suggestions, per se, but I do have a "me too" to offer. I'm running OpenSUSE 11.1 myself and I just spent a considerable bit of time fighting with the keyboard over the last couple of days. I've had to add this to my ~/.xsession:
setxkbmap -model microsoftpro -layout us -variant basic -option ""
(btw, I found that that was what "yast2 keyboard" was doing and that doing so got me able to use my keyboard again)
I don't know if it's a change that OpenSUSE 11.1 has brought or what has caused this, but I've never had to do this before. =:/
If you look in your ~/.xsession-errors, do you see (I do) these kind of errors?
