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.
