Re: [SLUG] Debian Sparc X Mouse/Keyboard

[Craige McWhirter <craigem@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim, thanks for that. Solved! I was frustrating close (my keymaps were mostly
one character to the left off) but what I was missing was "compat/type/complete
business and I never tried combinations of "sun(type5)" and "sun/us(sun5)" as I thought they were mutually exclusive.

Thanks again, you've alowed me to get some sleep :)
