    Since I've had no response to this post in comp.os.linux.X I'll
    broaden my search in hopes that I can find some resolution. I've
    trolled usenet for this problem with no luck so I assume my error is
    something patently stupid. I have an Ultra 5 with a Sun Type 6
    keyboard running the latest release of Gentoo. After building XF86
    v.4.3.0 I find that the keymappings are not entirely correct. When I
    start X I find that many keys are correctly mapped, however
    approximately 20% of the keys are not correctly mapped leading to very
    undesireable behavior. I've enclosed a copy of my XF86Config file for
    your perusal and the most relevant part of the XFree86.log file. Any
    assistance would be greatly appreciated.
