Sun Ray uses the base Xsun keyboard tables, with no modifications. The really strange part is that, as far as Sun Ray is concerned, there is no difference between the Type 7 and Type 6 Swiss-German keyboards. (That's true for all layouts except Japanese, where the Type 6 and Type 7 produce different keycodes for a couple of keys so all keyboard drivers, including Sun Ray, have to treat them differently.) If the Solaris update did touch any keyboard tables then both the Type 6 and Type 7 keyboards should have been affected equally. The only reason for a difference I can think of is if one of the Sun Ray sessions has enabled the XKeyboard extension and the other one hasn't. The XKeyboard tables are separate from the non-XKeyboard tables, it wouldn't be hard for one set to be broken while the other set works. You could check this by looking at the Xsun command line options, or you could rule it out by plugging both the Type 6 and the Type 7 simultaneously into the same DTU or by hotdesking a single session between the DTU with the Type 6 and the DTU with the Type 7. Are the keyboards plugged directly into the DTUs or do they go through hubs or KVMs? Are the mice plugged into the DTU or into the keyboard? Are any other devices plugged in to the hub ports on the Type 7? While you're investigating, get rid of any extra devices and try to plug the keyboard(s) and mice directly into the DTU. You should also make sure that all of your DTUs have the latest firmware, in case this is a problem that has already been solved. BTW, the lockup issue with the Type 7 keyboard does not affect only SRSS 3.1 and SR2, it affects all Type 7 keyboards. But if you were suffering from the lockup issue the keyboard would be completely dead, it wouldn't just get a few keys wrong. The lockup should not happen with current firmware.
