Description of problem: I did install a Windows 7 using virt-manager and qemu-kvm as hypervisor. I need to use the US international layout. In Win7 using virt-manager this does not work. I started the Windows 7 image by using qemu-kvm from the command line in order to avoid the use of virt-manager, there AltGr key works. I already tried libvirt.x86_64 0:0.8.2-1.fc13 from updates-testing.
Please provide sudo virsh dumpxml $vmname
Here it is: [root@calvin images]# virsh dumpxml Windoof7 <domain type='kvm' id='1'> <name>Windoof7</name> <uuid>35ff7209-c14e-681d-a658-fcd48f27a532</uuid> <memory>2097152</memory> <currentMemory>2097152</currentMemory> <vcpu>2</vcpu> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='fedora-13'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <pae/> </features> <cpu match='exact'> <model>qemu64</model> <feature policy='force' name='x2apic'/> </cpu> <clock offset='localtime'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/Windoof7.img'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <alias name='ide0-0-0'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <disk type='block' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source dev='/dev/sr0'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <alias name='ide0-1-0'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' unit='0'/> </disk> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <alias name='ide0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:17:a3:6e'/> <source network='default'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </serial> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/0'> <source path='/dev/pts/0'/> <target port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </console> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'> <alias name='input0'/> </input> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes' keymap='en-us'/> <sound model='ac97'> <alias name='sound0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </sound> <video> <model type='vga' vram='9216' heads='1'/> <alias name='video0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> </devices> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='selinux'> <label>system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c109,c731</label> <imagelabel>system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c109,c731</imagelabel> </seclabel> </domain>
if you 'virsh edit $vmname' and remove the keymap= piece from <graphics>, restart the guest, do things get better?

Yes. Thank you.
