When running the F10beta live cd in qemu-kvm, I see the same up/printscreen confusion that was plaguing our earlier attempt to switch to evdev in F8. X is using the evdev driver, and the xkb information on the root window seems to be correct: base, evdev, us danpb said: i didn't realize it'd affect sdl too
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.

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.
