original question:

> i have a sun type5 keyboard on a sparc10, sunos4.1.3. the middle set of
> cursor keys and function keys work fine when i use the console without
> running x, but they are dead when i run x11r5 and mwm. i have looked in
> the faq's for both sun managers, comp.windows.x and comp.windows.x.motif
> and can't find a solution. the keys on the keypad work fine. does anyone
> have an answer?

the solution is quite simple. all i had to do was create a file for use with
xmodmap and plug it into my .xinitrc. the file is appended to the end of this
message in case anyone can make use of it. (this might be a good one for
inclusion in the sun-manager faq)
