I have similar problems with a Solaris10_x86 host running QEMU 0.6.0
when displaying to the default Xsun X-Server at ':0.0' or forwarding to
my SPARC machines running several Solaris versions.
These problems make QEMU (any Guest OS's command line, any input fields)
completely unusable.
Yep, I noticed that problem, too. On a Solaris9_x86 host / Xsun.
The root cause is probably the sdl.c:sdl_keyevent_to_keycode() subroutine
that assumes X11 keycodes can be converted to PC scancodes by substracting
8 from the X11 keycode (for keycodes in the range 8..96):
static uint8_t sdl_keyevent_to_keycode(const SDL_KeyboardEvent *ev)
{
int keycode;
keycode = ev->keysym.scancode;
if (keycode < 9) {
keycode = 0;
} else if (keycode < 97) {
keycode -= 8; /* just an offset */
} else if (keycode < 158) {
/* use conversion table */
keycode = x_keycode_to_pc_keycode[keycode - 97];
} else {
keycode = 0;
}
return keycode;
}
I guess that (``scancode = keycode - 8'') only works with an XFree86 X11
server.
My current workaround is to compile sdl.c with CONFIG_SDL_GENERIC_KBD
defined. This enables a more accurate X11 keysym to PC scancode translation
table. Problem is, the translation table assumes a US keyboard layout.
