Hi Ether,
In snv115, there was a change to how Xorg discovers keyboards, their layout,
etc. and all this has moved to using HAL.
I don't know what machine you're using, but I ran into issues on my MacBook Pro,
where the HAL probe was crashing, causing no layout information to be created
for my keyboards, making them use a very poor layout.
This could be your issue - take a look in /usr/lib/hal and see if there are any
core files.
Also do the following:
lshal | grep Xkb
you should see something like:
input.x11_options.XkbVariant = '' (string)
input.x11_options.XkbLayout = 'gb' (string)
input.x11_options.XkbModel = 'sun_type6_usb' (string)
input.x11_options.XkbRules = 'base' (string)
repeated for each keyboard that you have.
If you see a core, or no output from the grep, then you're likely hitting the
same issue as me:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6846252
This should be fixed in snv_117, but I could probably provide you with a binary
that I got from the resp. engineer to temporarily fix it for you...
Thanks,
Darren.
