Hi sunmanagers,
the scenario:
A B
280R 280R
(Sol8+rec.Patches from 3 Months ago) (Sol9+rec.Patches from last week)
| |
usb usb
| |
KVM-switch (Dakota Ultraview)
|
German PC keyboard
System A (set up by a third party, formerly equipped with its own keyboard)
can be used on the KVM-switch with the German keyboard without problems,
so I assume the switch does The Right Thing to identify the PC-keyboard
as a German SUN keyboard.
However, system B does not recognize the German keyboard and uses the
default US keymap. Using /usr/bin/loadkeys I can get the German layout
on the console but unfortunately this doesn't affect dtlogin/CDE.
/usr/openwin/bin/xmodmap could be used once the user is logged in, but
again dtlogin doesn't work with this solution.
Docs.sun.com only mentions the dip switches on older type4/5 keyboards
as a means to force a certain layout but nothing for the new USB
keyboards.
Has anything changed between Solaris 8 and 9 with respect to the
keyboard configuration which could cause this different behaviour?
Searching through the sunmanagers archive, Solaris FAQ and Google I
found no hints how to force a certain keyboard layout for dtlogin/CDE.
TIA and I will summarize,
Klaus
