I am new-bee to Open source and XFree86. I have compiled XFree86 4.5.0 for
Solaris Sparc. Everything is working fine except m keyboard. I have Sun
Type5c keyboad. My Keypad (for Home, PgUp, End and Arrow keys) is not
working when I depress the NUM lock key. But When NUM lock is pressed the
digits in keypad are working fine.
Also SUN special keys are not working like Help, Stop, Again, Front, Cut,
Copy, Paste.
My Keybaord configuration n XF86config file is as follows:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
EndSection
When I specifiy the following in my configuration the keyboard dosen't take
any input.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "Xkbrules" "sun"
Option "XkbModel" "type5"
EndSection

I am facing some problems with the special keys in the sun keyboard. It got
ten special keys such as (copy, paste, undo, again, stop, etc) in it. Could
any one tell me whether the driver that is there in the Xfree source
supports these keys or not. If it is, then from where it is getting the key
symbols.
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/Domain.note in part says
"Several loose ends still need to be addressed before these changes can be
considered stable. The bulk of this note is devoted to enumerating what
remains to be done, along with other notes, broken down into various broad
categories.
SPARC SunOS (aka Solaris)
-------------------------
- An overview of this XFree86 port is available in README.Solaris.
- The keyboard map code in hw/xfree86/os-support/sunos/sun_kbdEv.c needs
to be extended to handle more than only the sun5 keyboard I targeted it
for. Even for the sun5, the map is incomplete as several keys are not
mapped. What is there is just barely usable."
If you feel up to it, you can submit a patch that corrects this situation.
