[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1038136] Re: lack of keycode 89 for br-abnt2 keyboards

[rslemos]

I've managed to resolve it applying the following patch (without "-k pt-
br"):

Title:
  lack of keycode 89 for br-abnt2 keyboards

Status in QEMU:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  qemu-kvm-1.1.1
  host system: slackware64-13.37
  Bug detailed description:
  Independent of Guest OS nothing happens when keycode 89 is pressed. 
  If you select option "-k pt-br" at qemu commandline you get keycode 89 but 
there is no more keycode 26 (dead_acute dead_grave) and keycode 51 fails on 
"less" sign.
  If you have a numeric keyboard you can use its "slash" key but there is no 
means to use the question mark, causing discomfort when you are scripting or 
programming.
