HI
Yes I remember this problem, I assumed it was because the SparcUltra 5s that I was installing to were US machines. As for X I think you need to set the Keyboard to US in the XF86Config file. You may also be able to do this from the YaST2 config tool. The long and the short of it is that you have to set X to use a US keymap and the correct Sun Keyboard. It has been a while since I have looked at Suse on Sparc the last distribution I was using was Gentoo without X. Sorry I can't be more specific.

I have found some similar problems, but no answers. In brief: When installing Suse7.3 on my Ultra 5 I can use either YAST2 or text mode and I get the same result. If I pick an English Keyboard the system Hangs. I have got around this by installing with an American Keyboard, BUT......... The keyboard layout is totally out and I can't find some keys at all. During boot up if I need to enter things (i.e. fsck commands), then the keyboard behaves perfectly but once X has started the key mapping goes out of the window. I tried changing to UK again through YAST once the system had booted and it froze once again. I would appreciate some help with this! Cheers, Chris. **************************************************************************** **** Important: This e-mail and its attachments are intended for the above named only and may be confidential.
