Generally, Solaris and Xorg automatically detect your keyboard layout and load the right keytable automatically. But in some cases, the keyboard layout detected by Solaris is not what user desires and this may require some manual settings. For example, when a keyboard is connected to a system via a KVM, it probably reports the keyboard layout different from the layout of the actual keyboard. To configure the keyboard layout manually, please follow the below instructions to workaround this problem. The following instructions take US layout as an example. For other layout types, please see /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb/xkbtable.map.
