Can you give me the output of setxkbmap -print on your host X server And if you have got as far as running a guest with X inside it, can you also run the same command in the guest X server. This is the host X server [mclasen@localhost po]$ setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)+de(deadgraveacute):2+no:3+level3(ralt_switch_for_alts_toggle):1+level3(ralt_switch_for_alts_toggle):2+level3(ralt_switch_for_alts_toggle):3+group(alts_toggle)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; }; and this is inside the vm: xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; }; FWIW, I just created + burned a livecd and when I boot from CD, I don't see this issue. This seems to be a dupe of Bug 435634 which was only closed by switching back to kbd. Cross-reference to similar problem Ubuntu KVM developer recently foudn https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2008-August/026076.html This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping kvm is sending bad key codes to text VT running in kvm. This is not limited to X. I am seeing this bug(?) as well and have to specify the keymap on the qemu-kvm command line with the -K flag. This didn't happen in < F10. This happens on rawhide too (rawhide on rawhide and F10 on rawhide). This can be easily reproduced with: $ sudo qemu-kvm -m 512 -cdrom F11-Alpha-i686-Live.iso and then pressing Up after autologin if liveuser, etc. Same for F9, F10 or newer rawhide spins. (I am using a standard US keyboard and layout.) Is this the same issue as bug #478976 Note, bug #478976 has a work-in-progress patch. Yes, it appears to be the same issue. I've been working around the problem with the option '-k en-us' to qemu-kvm. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 478976 *** |
