| So they're finally shipping Type 4's on desktop Sun-3s (and presumably
| Sun-4s, as well), as well as deskside 3's and 4's, and '386i's....

  Yep.  And they're shipping them with a default setting that assumes
you're not a SUn 3 running SunOS 3.5 (or earlier).  Luckily they are
shipping a READ ME FIRST that says you should check the dip switch
setting.

| Good luck.  To make them useful for what they're intended requires some
| rewhacking of XLookupString, at the very least.

  I use the following ``xmodmap -e "add mod1 = Alt_R"''.  Now at least I
don't have to hunt around for the Meta key.  I hate these new
keyboards.  They're way two crowded in the lower left and right corners.
The return key is also a major hassle since it's almost - but not quite -
square, I'm having a lot of difficulty with just missing the stupid thing
because I can't get my head to keep remembering that small shaved off
partial edge.  Most of the rest of the keyboard is ok (except of course
for my perennial tirade against the lowly Caps Lock key).
