The reason for this is kbd -s does not seem to be working. When trying to set US-English:

Hi Jérôme ,

Could you please change /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc script and add the string 'Belgian' as shown below then reboot and let us know if you still face the same issue?

Eg:

#cat /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc
setprop keyboard-layout US-English
setprop ata-dma-enabled 1
setprop atapi-cd-dma-enabled 1
setprop ttyb-rts-dtr-off false
setprop ttyb-ignore-cd true
setprop ttya-rts-dtr-off false
setprop ttya-ignore-cd true

Please change"keyboard-layout to 'Belgian' like so..

setprop keyboard-layout Belgian

And let us know if it helps. Secondly it would also be helpful if you could give us some characters which will give us a different output when pressed on a normal English-keyboard, It would be helpful to debug.

Thanks Shampavman

Hi,

After verification , it was seen that this is not a bug but just the way its configured.
