I've never installed Debian on an Ultra 30 (though I have an
Ultra 2 I'm going to get around to one of these weekends), but I
have on an IPX. What do you have in you in the mouse section of
your XF86Config? Unfortunately the auto-detection for
mice/keyboard maps isn't very good Sparc Debian, so some fiddling
with the config files is usually necessary. Are you running gpm?
If so you might want to try something like:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "mousesystems"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
EndSection
If you don't run gpm (or if that doesn't work) try:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "busmouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/sunmouse"
EndSection
Have you tested the keyboard under X? Sometimes there are
problems with the keymap being mixed up. Also, take a look at
the Debian-sparc list for more info - 1. http://lists.debian.org/ports.html .
