Realforce 87U 55g (white/grey) OS compatibility issue?
« on: Thu, 17 April 2014, 12:44:55 »
Hello,

I'm trying to use this keyboard at work and it works fine when plugged into PC, however, when I switch over to Linux/Sun the alternate keys for the numbers are all shifted over by one.

Has anyone ever ran into this problem?  How can I fix it.

Post solutions to fix the problem.

Thanks,
Dave

Does your PC still got a PS2 keyboard port? Maybe you you can try to connect your 87U with an adapter and see if you still have the problem

so, old sun machines are weird, let's just ignore that for a second, even if it's just opensolaris or something, still weird, ignore.

if i'm understanding you correctly, the embedded numpad layer works properly in a windows environment but the numpad layer maps oddly in linux. can you give an example of what key should map to what numpad key on the numpad layer and what it actually maps to on your linux machine?
