Hello,

I have been using a Sun type 6 USB keyboard for a long time with my FreeBSD
system.
After the update to xorg-server-1.20, the Sun-specific keys on the left of the
keyboard are no longer recognized.


Here is the output of setxkbmap:


[ko at wiley ~]$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include
"pc+sun_vndr/us+sun_vndr/gr(simple):2+inet(evdev)+group(menu_toggle)"   };
        xkb_geometry  { include "sun(type6unix)"        };
};
[ko at wiley ~]$ 


And here is what libinput debug-events --verbose --show-keycodes reports, first
pair of columns, 
and what xev reports, second pair of
columns:Stop   KEY_POWER      116    Xf86PowerOff    124
Again  KEY_SLEEP      142    XF86Sleep       150
Props
Undo
Front
Copy   KEY_WAKEUP     143    XF86Wakeup      151
Open
Paste  KEY_SEARCH     217    XF86Search      225
Find   KEY_BOOKMARKS  156    XF86Favorites   164
Cut    KEY_REFRESH    173    XF86Reload      181
A) I've tried to fix some mappings, e.g. the Copy key, by doing

xmodmap -e "keycode 143 = XF86Copy"

but this doesn't work. Similarly for Paste, etc.

B) You can see that the important keys Open, Front, and Undo produce no
keycodes
at all.


C) I had previously posted this question to the X11 forum. It resulted in a
long
discussion, but no resolution.

Any help would be appreciated.
