- I solved it by creating my own keyboard map in
- $OPENWINHOME/share/etc/keytables, editing keytable.map
- in the same directory, and changing the DIP-switches on
- the keyboard.

- However, there might be a reason why SUN does not allow
- you to move the lock function any more. On the new Type-5
- keyboards, the Caps Lock indicator LED is placed in the
- lock key! This makes it unreasonable to move the function.
- However, you might still want to move it on Type-4 keyboards.
-
- Just my thoughts...
