[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1101210] Re: qemu 1.4.2: usb keyboard not fully working

[Bjoern Kerler]

After some digging, it seems that windows itself is responsible for that
bug. On international keyboards, it tend to send "Ctrl" and "Alt"
instead of "AltGr" keycode.

A possible patch would be to add an option to QEMU command line to
handle Ctrl and Alt keystrokes being pressed at the same time as AltGr
keystroke.

Title:
  qemu 1.4.2: usb keyboard not fully working

Status in QEMU:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When using the usb keyboard, I can't type the | character. I'm using
  german keyboard layout (de) on the host and inside the guest. As a
  guest OS, I use Linux (e.g. a recent KNOPPIX cd). To obtain the |
  character on a german keyboard, I need to press AltGr + the < or >
  key, i.e. the key right to the left shift.

  The qemu command line is something like this:
  ./qemu-system-i386 -device pci-ohci -device usb-kbd
  I also tried
  ./qemu-system-i386 -usb -usbdevice keyboard
  with the same effect.
