You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I use a Sun Type 7 UNIX-layout USB keyboard.  X detects the keyboard:

 (II) config/hal: Adding input device Sun USB Keyboard
 (**) Sun USB Keyboard: always reports core events
 (**) Sun USB Keyboard: Device: "/dev/input/event2"
 (II) Sun USB Keyboard: Found keys
 (II) Sun USB Keyboard: Configuring as keyboard
 (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Sun USB Keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD)
 (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"
 (**) Sun USB Keyboard: xkb_rules: "evdev"
 (**) Option "xkb_model" "pc105"
 (**) Sun USB Keyboard: xkb_model: "pc105"
 (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us"
 (**) Sun USB Keyboard: xkb_layout: "us"

But it wrongly detects it as a standard pc105 US keyboard.  This means
some keys don't work (e.g. Meta becomes Super, Compose becomes Menu,
etc.).  The correct layout for this keyboard is
"us+sun_vndr/usb(sun_usb)".  Setting this with "setxkbmap -layout" makes
the keyboard behave as expected.
