[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1004050] Re: qemu-system-ppc64 by default has non-working keyboard

[Truman Boyes]

I have also experienced the same issue with qemu-system-ppc64. It
appears that ppc64 is not able to communicate with the USB controller.
This issue is not seen with with qemu-system-ppc.

Title:
  qemu-system-ppc64 by default has non-working keyboard

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Compile qemu from git and do:

    ./ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64

  (ie. no parameters).  It boots to an OpenBIOS prompt.  However the
  keyboard doesn't work.  After ~10 keypresses, qemu just says:

  usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full
  usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full
  usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full
  usb-kbd: warning: key event queue full

  There is no indication inside the guest that OpenBIOS is seeing
  keyboard events.

  Also there's no indication of what type of keyboard devices are
  available, nor what we should use.
