I see. Just tried Sun Type 7 for a test - and xev recognizes extra keys on Linux (though they produce different events, not F## but for example * XF86Copy* etc.). But no luck for Type 5 through a convertor. OpenIndiana however recognizes Type 5 through a USB convertor without issues and xev show F## events for keys on the left). I guess Solaris and Linux keyboard drivers work with the adapter differently.
