The reason of this bug is a change
: 656. Make SysRq generate the same keycode as PrtScrn, and Break the same
: keycode as Pause (#A.1160, Owen Taylor).
which added into an xf86PostKbdEvent procedure a code
: /*
: * PC keyboards generate separate key codes for
: * Alt+Print and Control+Pause but in the X keyboard model
: * they need to get the same key code as the base key on the same
: * physical keyboard key.
: */
: if (scanCode == KEY_SysReqest)
: scanCode = KEY_Print;
: else if (scanCode == KEY_Break)
: scanCode = KEY_Pause;
But for a Sun's type5 keyboard it means something like
if (code == 'letter L') code = 'letter B'
if (code == 'comma') code = 'letter V'
A simple fix for this issue could be a moving this code to the part of
xf86PostKbdEvent which is being executed for PC keyboards only.
