Support for Multimedia and Sun special keys

Various manufacturers have added special keys to the standard keyboards.

Some keyboards are provided with multimedia keys through which it is possible to

comfortably operate special multimedia functions of the computer. For example,

the keyboard of the Apple Mac mini is provided with a key to open the DVD drive.

Compared to standard keyboards, Sun desktops and servers are provided with separate

keys (Solaris Shortcut Keys) to operate special system functions. After the keyboard

mode for Sun desktops and servers has been activated, the Solaris Shortcut Keys can be

used at the console. If the console only provides a standard keyboard, several key combi-

nations can be applied to emulate the Solaris Shortcut Keys (see page 16).

Several USB Keymodes are provided in order to use the special keys of such keyboards.

How to (de)activate the support for Multimedia or Sun special keys:
