- 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
