No offence meant, but before Tom gets nervous: Aurora is based on rhl 7.3,
but it is NOT from redhat. And therefor please consider posting aurora
questions to the aurora mailing lists instead of this RedHat-run list (see
http://www.auroralinux.org).]

Seen that a while ago. Hmm. Is that an XF86config-4 created by anaconda
during the install or did you run XConfigurator? Is the keyboard USB or
type4/5/6? Which aurora build did you install? Oh, I see [ultra1], so this
is probably sun type5.

One thing worth trying is to run kbdconfig, change the keyboard type to a
different language, quit, then back to "US" and then confirm the question
"want me to adjust XF86Config?". That helped me at least on one b100 or
b1000 (USB).
