Unable to change keyboard layout

Hi to everyone

Once again I tried to modify my keyboard , because I am crazy keyborad can not be changed using

Code:
kbd-s 
eeprom

also I tried to modify /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc

but I tried opensolaris and my keyboard works perfectly

So my question is
Can I transfer settings from opensolaris into my solaris over Virtualbox [samba is configured]

If you have not tried this already, try setting the same values of these settings into your other O/S:

Code:
echo "$TERM"
stty -a

you must completely log out of the GUI, then log in as root using the "command line" option under session type on the login screen. Once you are logged in as root, run the kdmconfig command. It will walk you through the process of setting the keyboard type. Once that is done, log out of the root account and log back in as yourself

Thanks "incredible", I completely missed that this was a graphics terminal.

I log out from GUI and logged in the command line and then

Code:
kdmconfig


I picked Xorg and then I saw i must edit

Code:
/usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure

Tried but system was unable to boot , so I returned original Xorg.conf file .

Can I transfer all my settings from OpenSolaris to Solaris ???
