[SunRay-Users] Centos X server crash caused by mouse !

[Buttay cyril]

Hello everyone,

I'm affraid I'm still struggling with my SunRay test setup!

Last time, I contacted you regarding the crash of an application, which 
was solved by changing the X server from Xnewt to XSun.

I'm not sure whether this has a consequence on my new problem, which is 
still related to the xserver:

The machine running srss is a v20z, running solaris 10. If I log onto 
it, some keys of the keyboard don't work (namely every key accessed 
using AltGr, which on a french keyboard means @, |, ... ). If I log onto 
my CentOS machine, I have the same behaviour. Worse, after some time, 
the keyboard mapping changes, and all key retun numbers (between 0 and 9!).

I changed the xkb setting (it was off):
utxconfig -ak on

After that, the keyboard (which is a sun type 6 with french mapping by 
the way) works perfectly on the solaris box. However, on the CentOS 
machine, the Xserver crashes almost immediately after logon.

Even more bizarre, if I log onto the Centos Machine without the mouse 
plugged in (also a sun mouse), it doesn't crash. Then, when I plug the 
mouse, the X session terminates.

the /var/dt/Xsession on the srss machine:

Sep 28 11:38:31 pissarro gdm[23947]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler : erreur

Any idea? Should I stick with xkb off (then how to get the AltGr key to 
work?) or should I try and correct the centos behaviour (I have the 
impression that centos is trying to set the power being delivered to the 
mouse, and fails)?

Best Regards
