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.

Hi,

I am new to this list and have had a look through the archives.  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.
