ABNT 2 KeyCodes

807559May 7 2007 — edited May 25 2007
Hi!
I'm investigating possibility to use a complete Sun environment (Solaris OS + Glassfish + NetBeans + Java 6 + JavaDB 10.3) for development and deployment purposes.
Development stations will run Solaris 10 11/06 on x86 platform, all with 2Gb RAM, 128Mb AGP video card, 2x80GB SATA mirrored, DVD RAM, that is a very nice workstation.
I think I'll have trouble to get the disk mirror recognized by Solaris, but I stoped very early - on first install, I got problems with keyboard. I'm using a ABNT2 keyboard with special key "/ - ?" on side of right shift. This works fine with Linux (I tried Fedora Core 4 and Ubuntu 6 LTS), and I suspect there is some way to get this working fine on Solaris (I'm using Xorg).
I tried kdmconfig, but it don't offer ABNT2 keyboard as choice, and changing keyboard layout using Gnome tools doesn't work too.
Using the "keyboard panel tool", I was able to select the ABTN2 keyboard, but it don't have the "/ - ?" key, and when I hit the "num lock" key to enable numeric keyboard, the "." doesn't work, and "," acts like "." - the worse is "backspace" key stop to work!!!

I definitelly need help to get this stuff working. I already searched several places, but found no definite solution anywhere.

Thanks in advance,

Edson Richter
