Description Joy Pu 2010-07-08 03:16:27 UTC

Description of problem:
the virtual USB keyboard of qemu doesn't work as expected in grub in Fedora. auto-repeat will start in a very short time in grub. So people only can type extremely fast in grub, or the keys will repeat.

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot up a Fedaora guest 
2. Go into grub command line
3. Tpye something

Actual results:
You will find if you type in normal speed, the keys will start repeat.  

Expected results:
People can type in grub normally

Additional info:

Retest with rhel6.1. The bios was rebased there to newer version.

Tested with seabios-0.6.1.2-3.el6.x86_64. Can not hit this problem again. The use keyboard works well.
