Well, it seems this is a new Xorg USB keyboard layout bug - a bug
which is not yet fixed by the available S10 x86 Xorg patch:
I've configured Solaris 10 GA with Xorg and an USB keyboard,
like this:
% eeprom kbd-type
kbd-type=Italian
% kbd -l
type=6
layout=14 (0x0e)
delay(ms)=500
rate(ms)=40
And Xorg reports in /var/dt/Xerrors:
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error: Can't find file "type5" for symbols include
> Exiting
> Abandoning symbols file "type6"
> Abandoning symbols file "default"
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
And typing "root" in the dtlogin screen echoes back "eiir".
That is, the above is a *fatal* xkbcomp error.
It seems this needs a new patch, something like this:
