3.2.3 Incorrect Default Keyboard Mappings

If you use a PCXLA-NA keyboard on a Compaq Personal Workstation

433au, 500au, or 600au class system, the keys will not map properly unless

you reconﬁgure the keyboard driver to use the correct keymaps.

You can do this by executing the following command:

# sysconfig -r gpc_input kbd_scancode=2

If you prefer, you can use the sysconfigdb command to add the

following entry to the /etc/sysconfigtab ﬁle:

gpc_input:

kbd_scancode = 2

Note that if you execute the sysconfig command to reconﬁgure the driver,

you must do this every time you reboot the system. Using the

sysconfigdb utility to make the change preserves the information across

reboots, and no other user intervention is required.
