Yes (again). Keyboard support on this platform (in both Linux and SunOS) is still quite primitive, expecially for Sun keyboards. For a Type 5 keyboard, for example, you'd need Option "XkbRules" "sun", and Option "XkbModel" "type5" in the keyboard's InputDevice section (although that's still not perfect). Also, should you switch to a 2.6 kernel in the future, you'll likely need to remove these options.

Oops.  Ignore this part.  I see you already have those options in.
