I use a Sun Type 7 UNIX-layout USB keyboard. X detects the keyboard: (II) config/hal: Adding input device Sun USB Keyboard (**) Sun USB Keyboard: always reports core events (**) Sun USB Keyboard: Device: "/dev/input/event2" (II) Sun USB Keyboard: Found keys (II) Sun USB Keyboard: Configuring as keyboard (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Sun USB Keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD) (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev" (**) Sun USB Keyboard: xkb_rules: "evdev" (**) Option "xkb_model" "pc105" (**) Sun USB Keyboard: xkb_model: "pc105" (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us" (**) Sun USB Keyboard: xkb_layout: "us" But it wrongly detects it as a standard pc105 US keyboard. This means some keys don't work (e.g. Meta becomes Super, Compose becomes Menu, etc.). The correct layout for this keyboard is "us+sun_vndr/usb(sun_usb)". Setting this with "setxkbmap -layout" makes the keyboard behave as expected.

(Type 6 keyboards were made in versions for both the traditional Sun/SPARC serial connector and USB, while only USB versions of Type 7 are made, since they postdate the EOL of the machines that used the older connectors.) The main differences between Type 6 & 7 are physical (embedded USB hub to plug in mice, flash drives, etc. ; RoHS-compliant materials ; updated appearance).

For at least the Type 6 keyboard there are at least two layouts: PC layout and UNIX layout. The UNIX layout has the capslock and control keys switched and I believe the Escape key was also moved. Another difference is that the power key was changed to a standby key (same keycode, but different icon printed on the key?)
