I haven't tried it with the ac patches. Their could be surprises. I hope
to in the coming weeks have it work again other trees (the mips and arm)
as well as Linus tree.

Yes. You don't need to apply the LCP patches to get your sun keyboard
working. What you do need is in the standard tree:

Enable input support.

Select Keyboard support
Select Joystick support
Select Event interface support

Then in the Joystick directory in character devices

Select Serial port input line discipline

Build everything and then build your sunkbd.o driver.

Do a if built all modular:

insmod input.o
insmod serio.o
insmod serport.o
insmod keybdev.o
insmod evdev.o
insmod sunkbd.o

Then run inputattach which is in our ruby/utils directory.

To test the device use evtest which is also in the directory.

If you need anything else just post to the list.
