I have a Sun Type7 keyboard on my Debian Linux (/etc/debian_version == 7.8) box, and, since it appears to be much like the Sun type6 I attempted:$ (setxkbmap -model sun6 -layout us -geometry 'sun(type6)' -v 10 ; setxkbmap -print) |sed 's/^/    /'Setting verbose level to 10locale is CWarning!

How does one use the setxkbmap -geometry option?
