Eduardo, since you've installed from GRP I'll assume you are running |
| 2 |
xfree, not xorg. The likely cause(s) of your problem are; |
| 3 |
1. incorrect keymap specified in /etc/rc.conf |
| 4 |
2. incorrect keymap specified in /etc/X11/XF86Config |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
the system keymap (defined in rc.conf) depends on your kernel version, |
| 7 |
for kernel 2.4 you would probably use sunkeymap but for kernel 2.6 |
| 8 |
things changed and you should specify a differnet keymap. (ref: |
| 9 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/sparc-2.6.x/#keymaps ) |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
for xfree, this is what I used with my us layout type-5 keyboard and |
| 12 |
kernel 2.4 |

for kernel 2.6 I'm not so sure as I switched to xorg as well but I'm sure someone else could comment. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
please post back to the list any results / more questions |
| 37 |
cheers, |
