Description
Build: Solaris Nevada build 10 nightly image

Install: Solaris Nevada build 10 

Platform: Intel 

Description: 
1.Select Xorg for the type of kdmconfig session.

2.Log into JDS Session on Solaris

As installing with a Swedish keyboard does not automatically set to the correct layout the followong has to be done (is this a bug itself?)
3.Enter the following commands to set the layout to Swedish.
#eeprom kbd-type="Swedish"
#/usr/lib/set_keyboard_layout

4. Restart the dtlogin:
go to command line, enter following commands:
#cd /
#etc/init.d/dtlogin stop
#etc/init.d/dtlogin start

5. Log into Swedish locale: 
sv_SE.UTF-8
sv_SE.ISO8859-1
sv_SE.ISO8859-15

6.Open a terminal, or other text application, dtpad, dtmail, gedit, etc.
Type all characters available into the application, observing those not outputting correctly.
See the ' International Language Environments Guide '

The following for the above layout are not appearing correctly:
2nd Row: 		§ 	button with two boxes appearing beside backspace
2nd Row + <Shift> : 	<shift> + §   <Shift> + button with two boxes appearing beside backspace

3rd Row:		Å  button with box appearing and ^ and ~ -> nothing output with <Shift> or <Altgr> either
4th Row:  		Ä 

<Altgr> + £ 


<Altgr> + 4 -> outputs 4 -> should output $

UTF-8, ISO-15 and ISO-1:
2nd Row: using <Altgr>
<Altgr> + <§> -> gives character that it should not, should give  § as no character defined for this combination.
<Altgr> + <1> -> gives i it should not, should give 1 as no character defined for this combination.
<Altgr> + 5 -> gives euro symbol -> should give 5 as no character defined for this combination.
<Altgr> + 6 -> gives character that it should not, should give 6 as no character defined for this combination.
<Altgr> +  `, -> gives combined plus/minus sign, should give , as no character defined for this combination.

5th Row
<Altgr> +  ' < ' -> gives | should give broken line.
 
UTF-8 and ISO-15:
<shft> + <4> give euro symbol, this should be different according to layout document.

UTF-8:
4th Row
<Altgr> + <Ä> -> gives composition of ae characters, no character defined for this combination.

ISO-15:
2nd Row:
<Shft> +  `, -> should give ` but gives capital Z with accent on top.

3rd Row:
' ^ '-> pressing this key should give two dots but instead gives S with accent on top.
Tested on build 12 as well.
