I've got a Sun Ultra 27 which has a type 7 USB keyboard, with a UK English
layout, P/N 320-1365-03. The Sun is running OpenSolaris 06/2009.

For reasons I do not know, the keyboard layout randomly changes. Currently,
pressing shift-3 produces a '#' character, but 5 hours ago it printed a pound
sign, which is what is on the keyboard.

Yesterday, the same issue happened, so I logged out, logged back in, and the
keyboard mapping was back to what I wanted.

It literally seems to change randomly, without me even logging out. I've had the
machine less than a week, and it has done this at least three times now.

I believe the machine is only supported with a type 7 keyboard. Unfortunately I
do not have any other type 7 keyboard to use, though I could try a type 6.

The workstation and keyboard were bought new, and I've had them less than a
week. I do not have a maintenance contract on the machine.

Any thoughts?

Dave
