[comp.windows.x] Sun/vax to masscomp keyboard miscommunication??

dove@savax.UUCP (webster dove) (08/04/87)

We have a Sun 3/110 and 3/160 and Ultrix vax and we use xinit to start
up X and it (typically) restores the keyboard when X exits.
Occasionally, when xinit breaks, the Sun is left with the keymap
broken (type '\b' see '+').  This state is as described in earlier
msgs about keyboard problems.

What I just noted is that the X server on the Masscomp, which can't
talk to the other three machines behaves this same way.  When running
clients on the Masscomp, to the Masscomp server everything is fine,
but either from the Masscomp to Sun or to vax and the other way
around, the connection acts as though the keyboard were broken (type
'\b' see '+').  Is there some option or definition that would cause
this miscommunication regardless of whether the client or server end
were on the Masscomp??
