Problems with X..

[Michael G. Jung]

Patched as desrived below this seems to have fixed my problems with X on Sparc Ultra 2.

I tested the keyboard in xterm and KWord.  While I only spend a few minutes with it this morning, all the alphanumeric keys + keypad seemed to work fine A-Z, a-z 0-1 !@#$%^% etc... PgUp/PgDown keys worked, the keypad worked numerically and shifted and F1 brought up KHelp... 

Thanks for all your efforts!

Here is my version info.  X was compiled with your single patch patch-kbd_sparc_2.c.

Well, it depends on your definition of better worse an horrible, but I'd
say something between worse to horrible ;).
The keys are completely messed up (its a German type5c keyboard).
Some examples:
1: keycode 9 (keysym 0x1005ff77, SunAudioLowerVolume)
0: keycode 18 (keysym 0xffc9, F12)
a: keycode 37 (keysym 0x31, 1), XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (31) "1"
l: keycode 45 (keysym 0x39, 9), XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (39) "9"
y: keycode 51 (keysym 0xff63, Insert)
.: keycode 59 (keysym 0xff50, Home)
End: keycode 102 (keysym 0xff68, Find)
