I emerged XFree on my Sun Ultra 30 and went to configure it but I can't seem to get the correct
setting for the keyboard. I figured out that for the mouse I had to use /dev/sunmouse for the
driver but if I use the default settings for the keyboard (default from XFree86 -configure) then
XFree won't work (ie, blank screen and no keyboard response). I changed the keyboard setting
to /dev/kbd and then XFree will display twm and then the keyboard "works" but none of the keys
are in the correct places. Any ideas on what I should use for the keyboard setting to get my Sun
keyboard to work under XFree?
My "InputDevice" section in /etc/X11/XF86Config looks like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/kbd"
EndSection
