Hello, here's the patch.
> If older versions of NetBSD (x86 at least) don't have wscons, there > should at least be a check that it is available. Did that. X -configure with wscons support / NetBSD it will try to open /dev/wskbd, if it succeeds it will write driver kbd, protocol wskbd and device /dev/wskbd into XF86Config, if not it falls back to driver keyboard. > I suggested using the xfree86 XKB rules/keycodes for consistency of > features across platforms and because they are the best-supported ones > within XFree86.

I added the Sun-specific keynames found in atKeynames.h to the Sun map in bsd_KbdMap.c and changed both the legacy driver and the modular keyboard driver to drop anything that's no sane scancode ( like KEY_NOTUSED ) and in case of the legacy driver anything that translates to something >0x7f because xf86PostKbdEvent() uses 0x80 as up/down indicator. This way everything is fine and the extra keys are (almost) all usable with kbd while the legacy driver behaves the same as before - extra keys don't work, some scancodes get mangled ( like most cursor keys ). > The symbols mappings in xkbcomp/symbols/pc are the most full-featured > that we have, and they're not really PC-specific. In fact, it is > probably a good time to promote them out of their pc/ subdirectory. They don't contain mappings for Sun extra keys like audio up/down and the extra function keys. Then there's nothing to do for the compose key. > That would just leave the issue of whether the raw keyboard codes are > mapped to a consistent set of X keycodes within the driver, or whether > that is handled by using different XKB keycodes files. I don't see a > great advantage to doing this mapping at the XKB level. The Sun map had a minor mistake (or feature?)- Props/L3 and ScrollLock were swapped. have fun Michael
