[Qemu-devel] Keyboard problems - Alt-GR QEMU 0.12.3 with VNC and german keyboard doesn't work

[Gerhard Wiesinger]

Hello,

I'm having problems with QEMU 0.12.3 (and even older versions) that Alt-GR 
doesn't work: e.g. Alt-GR q should be @ but is still q.

Tested with e.g. Knoppix Live CD 6.2 and MS-DOS 6.22.

In general I'm having also keyboard problems with 
upper/lowercase/Shift state under MS-DOS 6.22 (KEYB GR loaded): Sometimes 
it is upper when it should be lowercase, so something with the keyboard 
emulation or VNC might be wrong.

own build:
qemu-0.12.3/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -k ...

VNC Client: UltraVNC 1.0.8.2

I found a fix which seems to be integrated but it doesn't work yet.

Also some links I've found already to the topic, but sill no solution yet:

If you need some help to track down the problem let me know.

Any ideas or plans to fix?

Thanx.

Ciao,
Gerhard
