Hello, I have been using a Sun type 6 USB keyboard for a long time with my FreeBSD system. After the update to xorg-server-1.20, the Sun-specific keys on the left of the keyboard are no longer recognized. Here is the output of setxkbmap: [ko@wiley ~]$ setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+sun_vndr/us+sun_vndr/gr(simple):2+inet(evdev)+group(menu_toggle)" }; xkb_geometry { include "sun(type6unix)" }; }; [ko@wiley ~]$ And here is what libinput debug-events --verbose --show-keycodes reports, first pair of columns, and what xev reports, second pair of columns:Stop KEY_POWER 116 Xf86PowerOff 124 Again KEY_SLEEP 142 XF86Sleep 150 Props Undo Front Copy KEY_WAKEUP 143 XF86Wakeup 151 Open Paste KEY_SEARCH 217 XF86Search 225 Find KEY_BOOKMARKS 156 XF86Favorites 164 Cut KEY_REFRESH 173 XF86Reload 181 A) I've tried to fix some mappings, e.g. the Copy key, by doing xmodmap -e "keycode 143 = XF86Copy" but this doesn't work. Similarly for Paste, etc. B) You can see that the important keys Open, Front, and Undo produce no keycodes at all. C) I had previously posted this question to the X11 forum. It resulted in a long discussion, but no resolution. Please see below: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/sun-keyboard-and-xorg-server-1-20-freebsd-12-1-xfce-4-12.75521/ Any help would be appreciated. Kostas
