Keyboard mapping problem with sunstudio
I'm a new sunstudio user and am having trouble with a setup issue. When I run sunstudio 11 from a sunray with a Sun keyboard all works fine (except the sunray has far too small of screen and it drive me crazy). When I run with my linux desktop being the x-server then none of the special keys (home, end, arrows, backbspace, enter, etc.) work correctly in sunstudio. All other gui apps I've tried (gedit, gvim, staroffice, web browser, etc.) work fine from my linux/pc keyboard.
Using google I discovered xev. It shows the keycode and keysym that is interpreted for each keyboard stroke. When I compare the output from my linux/pc keyboard vs. the sun keyboard connected to the sunray I see the expected differences in keycode, but the keysym and resulting interpretation (e.g. BACKSPACE) is the same. Yet sunstudio ignores any keystroke except normal alphabet characters that come from my linux/pc keyboard.
When using my linux/pc keyboard I'm in one of two configs (both act the same):
- ssh -X hostname
OR
- Xephyr :1 -screen 1250x975 -query hostname &
Thanks for any help.
