Hello,
I have problems in setting up the Sun Type5 keyboard attached to a
SPARCstation 10 correctly.
On the console screen (right after the login process) I can use
the grey cursor keys, but when I start XWindows, XWindows seems
to change the keycode assignments. These keycodes differ from the
codes I found in the 'Sun Type5 Keyboard Product Notes', which
came along with the SPARCstation 10 package.
I won't be able to use the grey cursor keys unless I modify the keymap
using 'xmodmap'. The file I feed to xmodmap contains the following lines:
keycode 27 = Up
keycode 31 = Left
keycode 34 = Down
keycode 35 = Right
Is there a way to have a global keycode assignment instead of having
each user include the xmodmap command with his '.xinitrc' file?
Or could I prevent XWindows from changing keycode assignments?
I would appreciate any help,
Markus
