Earlier versions of Solaris 10 had keyboard input problems in JDS. This problem has been fixed in the later releases. Please apply the latest patch from SUN.

Following instruction is a temporary fix.

  1. Open /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/%gconf.xml

  2. Edit the file with:

    <!--?xml version="1.0"?-->
<gconf>
<entry name="volume_up" mtime="1110896708" type="string">
<stringvalue></stringvalue>
</entry>
<entry name="volume_mute" mtime="1110896705" type="string">
<stringvalue></stringvalue>
</entry>
<entry name="volume_down" mtime="1110896702" type="string">
<stringvalue></stringvalue>
</entry>
<entry name="help" mtime="1110896698" type="string">
<stringvalue></stringvalue>
</entry>
</gconf>


  3. Then, restart Xmanager.
