           Summary: Sun Ultra2 kbd driver in xorg
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.2
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Input/Keyboard
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: everett at freebsdtips.com


I have a Sun Ultra2 running Gentoo Linux with xorg-x11-6.8.2. When I use the
"kbd" driver, my Sun type5 keyboard does not work properly at all. It like the
key mapping is off somewhat in most cases and not working at all in others. If
you type "qwerty", the 'q' acts as the 'w' and you get "wertyu¨ and the whole
bottom row of keys do not work at all. The caps lock does not work and the num
lock does not work along with the rest of the function keys. When I change the
driver back to "keyboard", everything appears to work fine. I noticed that the
"keyboard" driver is now depricated and was wondering if you could possibly not
take it out since it seems to work just fine on the Sun Ultra2's with the type5
keyboard. Here is my current keyboard settings in my xorg.conf file:

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier  "Keyboard0"
  ##
  # This must be the Deprecated keyboard driver with xorg-x11-6.8.0-rxx
  #
  Driver      "keyboard"
#  Option      "Protocol"    "Standard"
#  Option      "XkbKeycodes" "sun(type5)"
#  Option      "XkbModel"    "type5"
#  Option      "XkbRules"    "sun"
#  Option      "XkbLayout"   "en_US"
#  Option      "XkbTypes"     "types/complete"
#  Option      "XkbCompat"   "compat/complete"
#  Option      "XkbGeometry" "sun(type5unix)"
   Option      "XkbRules"    "sun"
   Option      "XkbModel"    "type5_unix"
   Option      "XkbLayout"   "us"
   Option      "XkbVariant"  "basic"
EndSection


If I switch the driver to "kbd" it doesn't work properly.
Just thought I'd let you guys know.
