Description
For s10u1_b16 on Sparc Finnish, keyboard layout is not operable. Finnish6.kt file is present but Xserver does not start when trying to use it and when keybord DIPswitches are set accordingly to keytable.map Xserver starts, but layout is not picked up.

Steps to reproduce:
1. set keyboard DIPSwitches to 000111 (Type 6 USB) and reboot 
       -> layout is not picked up.
2. set keyboard DIPSwitches to 000000 (US6.kt) and overwrite /usr/openwin/etc/keytables/US6.kt with Finnish6.kt and reboot
      -> Xserver does not start (can not open display)

  For s10u1_b16 on x86, Finnish keyboard entry is missing in kdmconfig ..

  We found out that Swedish layout is absolutely similar to Finnish one. So work around is to switch to Swedish for now.
Work Around
Use Swedish keyboard layout, it's similar to Finnish one.
