Sun Keyboard under XFree86

[Leonard, Phil]

After more googling and searching around on the Gentoo forums I found an answer to this.  This at 
least makes the basic keys work correctly.  I don't know if any of the extra keys on the keyboard 
work yet.  It is emerging KDE at the moment (24 hours and counting)  Now if I can figure out how to 
make the NumLock key start up being on.

This is what I have in XF86Config now for the keyboard:

Section "InputDevice" 
        Identifier  "Keyboard0" 
        Driver      "keyboard" 
        Option          "CoreKeyboard" 
        Option          "XkbRules"      "sun" 
        Option          "XkbModel"      "type5" 
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "us" 
EndSection

Subject: Sun Keyboard under XFree86

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"
