- 1. SUPPORTED KEYBOARDS
-
- List of supported keyboards:
-
- Sun Type 5:
- sunt5-es.kmap
- sunt5-de-latin1.kmap (Contributed by Wolfgang Sz÷cs <wolfi@tfh-berlin.de>)
- sunt5-fi-latin1.kmap ( by Riku Meskanen <mesrik@cc.jyu.fi>)
- sunt5-ru.kmap ( by Alexander V. Lukyanov <lav@video.yars.free.net>)
- sunt5-uk.kmap ( by Steven Brookes <stevejb@eos18.eos.co.uk>)
-
- Sun Type 4:
- sunt4-es.kmap ( By Antoni Pαmies OlivΘ <toni@readysoft.net>)
-
- The other keymaps provided with this package are the original PC ones and are
- included just for reference when creating new ones.
- DO NOT TRY TO LOAD THEM. THEY WILL MAKE YOUR KEYBOARD COMPLETELY UNUSABLE.
-
- Don't forget to check that /etc/sysconfig/keyboard contains the right
- definition. The kbdconfig utility will do it for you. It should be found
- at the same place where you got this package as kbdconfig-1.3-1.sparc.rpm.
-
- Please, send new maps to <eduardo@medusa.es>, so I can include them in new
- releases of this package.
-

-
- 2. HOW TO CREATE KEYBOARD MAPS
-
- NOTE: Please, send additions, comments and corrections (of ANY kind) to the
- address above.
-
- 2.1 The Hard Way (TM)
-
- First, execute the dumpkeys command to create a first working keymap:
-
- $ dumpkeys > sunt5-lang.kmap
-
- Then, press every key to check if the console shows the symbol it is supposed
- to. If not, search for the offending keycode into the sunt5-lang.kmap file and
- change its keysyms to the real ones. (You can get the keycodes using showkey).
-
- Please read the documentation accompanying this package and check the
- sunt5-* and PC keymaps provided with this RPM (specially the ones for your
- native language) if you have any doubt.
-
- 2.2 The Easy Way
-
- Choose one of the provided PC keymaps for your language and do the following:
-
- $ pc2sun.pl lang.kmap > sunt5-lang.kmap
-
- Check the file sunt5-lang.kmap as explained in 2.1.
-
- (pc2sun.pl should work very well in most cases. For the Spanish keyboard,
- only two keys were misplaced, due to some special characteristics of the
- Spanish PC keyboard)
