Hi,
working with sun rays and debugging sun ray server software, i believe
to have found some Xnewt and installation issues on an debian lenny
system :
1. contrary to various documentation and blog entries Xnewt
tries to open /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb/xkbtable.map
instead of /opt/SUNWut/lib/keytables/xkbtable.map.
This is kind of fatal for non US users since Xnewt does not find
the correct keyboard definitions and falls back to the US
keyboard as default.
This bug further prevents changing the default keyboard layout
( i prefer to stay with my old ibm keyboard).
2. calling the xkbcomp Xnewt omits the -I xkbcomp option. This
causes xkbcomp to a) chdir to the -R option
(/opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb) and b) to read the keyboard defintions
from /usr/share/X11/xkb in the debian case. Calling the xkbcomp
with -I opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb rectifies the problem. It further
makes the installation more self contained and independent from
what the distribution is shipping, as all keyboard lookups are
resolved in /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb.
3. The directory /var/dt is missing and should be crated by one
of the installation scripts.
4. In /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb the directory "compiled" is missing.
If xkbcomp is called with the -I option it wants to write the
xkm file into the compiled directory.
Regards Jürgen
