Hi,

I'm using a PS/2 keyboard with an Ultra 5 by using the
Belkin sun<->PS/2 adapter unit.

When I switch on the Ultra 5, the keyboard works fine
with the boot prompt if necessary and I can boot OK.

However with CDE for some reason the keyboard stops 
working (although the mouse is OK). If I unplug the
sun keyboard lead and plug it back in, the Sun drops
to the boot prompt, however if I type 'go' then
the sun resumes and the keyboard works.

The keyboard works ok with regular console incidently
and also OpenLook - it just seems to be CDE.

Any ideas. I'm using an older version of Solaris 
incidently - version 2.5.

Cheers

Ian.
