Hi,
In the first post, I was connecting to the OpenSolaris host from a Windows machine via Putty. Then I realized that I cannot even switch to Dvorak. Thus, I switched to Gnome desktop on which I can successfully use Dvorak, i.e., "setxkbmap dvorak". In the remaining posts I used Gnome desktop.
Regarding Dvorak files:
semihc@giant$ pwd
/usr/X11/share/X11/xkb
semihc@giant$ find . -name "dvorak" -exec ls -l {} \;
-r--r--r-- 1 root bin 585 2009-05-15 01:51 ./keymap/sgi/dvorak
-r--r--r-- 1 root bin 15300 2009-05-15 01:51 ./symbols/pc/dvorak
-r--r--r-- 1 root bin 15300 2009-05-15 01:51 ./symbols/dvorak
# No difference in between these two:
semihc@giant$ diff ./symbols/pc/dvorak ./symbols/dvorak
semihc@giant$ cat symbols/dvorak
