Re: Blade 100 and Swedish keyboard problem.

Hi!

I dont have a sparc64 with USB so I tested with a Swedish type 6
keyboard on i386 and it just worked. I get the keycode 51 as expected.

I understand why you get keycode 123, it's because entry /* 50 */
in wsUsbMap in XF4/xc/program/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86KbdBSD.c
has the value KEY_Bslash2 instead of KEY_Bslash as expected on a
swedish keyboard.

What I dont understand is why it just works on i386.

Matthieu, any idea?
