uk keymap in X troubles

Hello, I hope someones got an answer for
this, I've been looking for days...
many thanks in advance to anyone who posts.

I'm running suse-sparc7.3 on a ss20 and
I can't get a uk keymap in x, simple as
that. I want to do it manually by editing 
configuration files....
maybe if I had a sun model 5 uk keyboard
sax2_sbus would recognise it and
configure the files for me, but 
unfortunately I'm using a uk ps2 through
a belkin adapter which emulates a 
sun model 5 us keyboard, so thats what
automatic configuration programs give me
- a us keymap.

I've found it easy to set up a couple
of custom keys by editing the
'type 5' section of 
/etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/sun but it's the _whole_ 
keymap I want to change.

my XF86Config says this:
section "InputDevice"
  Identifier  "Keyboard[0]"
  Driver      "keyboard"
  Option      "Protocol"    "Standard"
  Option      "XkbKeycodes" "sun(type5)"
  Option      "XkbModel"    "type5"
  Option      "XkbRules"    "sun"
  Option      "XkbLayout"   "us"
  Option      "XkbGeometry" "sun(type5)"
  Option      "XkbSymbols" "sun/us(sun5)"
EndSection

There's a 'uk' keymap in /etc/X11/xkb/keymap/sun, 
so I change "XkbLayout" from "us" to "uk"
but nothing changes. 
So then I reckon I should do something about 
that "XkbSymbols" option, cos it still says 
'us', but the only other file except 'us' 
in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/sun is 'se' which 
gives me weird stuff.

As you can see, I don't know what I'm doing -
I don't really understand how these options
and files interact, and I can't find any
documentation on them.

Any ideas or pointers would be much appreciated!
cheers - chris
