[huskerlug] Re: Changing keyboard layout in X

dang why do all my good thoughts come right after I hit send...

I remember it all worked under SUSE (well everything but the networking) so
I fired up an old SPARC 5 I had SUSE still installed on.  XkbGeometry I had
the wrong {} should be (), needed to add (type5) to XkbSymbols and I needed
the line XkbKeycodes "sun(type5)"

So after making those changes it works.  Now time to stress the networking
and see if it's going to hold up unlike SUSE 7.3.
