Keyboard not recognized Solaris 10 Update 2 X86

807557Oct 14 2006
I'm using Solaris 10 X86 Update 2 with latest patches (as of 10/14/06)

System will work with USB keyboard directly connected but I would like to use a wireless keyboard and mouse which I have.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have been unable to configure the system to recognize:
Gyration 2.4 Optical Air Mouse and Compact Keyboard Suite.

The system recognizes and accepts input from the mouse, but not the keyboard.

While at the bios level and grub menu the keyboard input is functional. But after Solaris boots, only the mouse is recognized.

Below is my xorg.conf file:
Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension

SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection

Load "bitstream"
Load "type1"
Load "Xst"
Load "IA"
Load "glx"
