Public bug reported:
I use a Sun Type 7 UNIX-layout USB keyboard. X detects the keyboard:
(II) config/hal: Adding input device Sun USB Keyboard
(**) Sun USB Keyboard: always reports core events
(**) Sun USB Keyboard: Device: "/dev/input/event2"
(II) Sun USB Keyboard: Found keys
(II) Sun USB Keyboard: Configuring as keyboard
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Sun USB Keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD)
(**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
(**) Sun USB Keyboard: xkb_rules: "evdev"
(**) Option "xkb_model" "pc105"
(**) Sun USB Keyboard: xkb_model: "pc105"
(**) Option "xkb_layout" "us"
(**) Sun USB Keyboard: xkb_layout: "us"
But it wrongly detects it as a standard pc105 US keyboard. This means
some keys don't work (e.g. Meta becomes Super, Compose becomes Menu,
etc.). The correct layout for this keyboard is
"us+sun_vndr/usb(sun_usb)". Setting this with "setxkbmap -layout" makes
the keyboard behave as expected.
