For 6.0 P1 consiole the type 5 works out of the box ish. I say ish as the leds don't work and the only keymap appears to be US. I don't think the mouse works at all. With x-windows try this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "Protocol" "standard" Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" Option "XkbRules" "sun" Option "XkbModel" "type5" Option "XkbLayout" "gb" Option "XkbKeycodes" "sun(type5)" EndSection Change XkbLayout to your layout. BTW again it sort of works some keys are wrong and the leds don't work. I haven't bothered any further as I use ssh & vnc to connect and that works correctly. The mouse works though /dev/cuau3 as there is no sysmouse. Rob
