- Hello:
-
- Does anyone know how I can cause the Sun keyboard to emit codes for certain
- keypad keys, such as the numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc? I was also wondering if
- there was a general way to get the number lock keys to work. I have a
- SPARCstation ELC and I believe that it is a type 4 keyboard.
-
- Here is what I'd like to do:
-
- 1) Turn num-lock on by keystroke control
- 2) Cause the rest of the keys to emit codes when not in NumLock,
- such as 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, =, /, *, Pause, PrSc, ScrollLockBreak...
-
- I've heard that I can apply a patch to X (Xsun-R5.numlock_patch) to get the
- NumLock to be activated. Is there any other way to use vanilla X to get the
- same response?
-
- Here are my specifics:
-
- o X-11 R4
- o TWM
- o Xterm
- o Sun type 4 keyboard
-
- Any Ideas?
