Known Issues
===============================================================================
This release contains the following known issues:
1. Solaris Keyboard Mapping
The number-pad keys may be reported incorrectly while running on a Solaris client. This is due to the default
key mappings not reporting the correct virtual keys. The xev utility, included with Solaris, can be used to verify
whether or not your default key mapping is properly configured. The following procedure can be used to verify
this on your Solaris client machine:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Open a terminal window and invoke the xev command.
When xev is executed, it will display an input window.
Set focus on this window and press the number-pad right arrow key.
The xev utility will display the key code and virtual key information
for the key you pressed.
5. The appropriate virtual key for number-pad right arrow is KP_RIGHT.
If you see something else (typically a RIGHT virtual key), your
X-server's key mappings are incorrect.
The work-around for this issue is to alter the X key mapping so that it reports the correct virtual keys.
One way to accomplish this is using the xmodmap utility and a file containing key mappings to be altered.
The new mappings can be installed with the following command
“xmodmap filename”
where filename is the name of the file containing the new key mappings. The following is an example of such
a file, and can be used as a starting point. The actual key codes may be different for your keyboard.
You can use the xev utility to determine the key codes for your keyboard and modify this listing as needed.
