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

[Roland Christmann]

With qemu version 2.9.94

Host: Windows 10
Guest: Archlinux 5.0.10

showkey output :

keycode 56 press   # Alt Gr
keycode 29 release # Alt Gr
keycode 56 release # Alt Gr

keycode 29 press   # Left Control
keycode 29 release # Left Control

keycode 29 press   # Right Contol
keycode 29 release # Right Contol

keycode 56 press   # Left Alt
keycode 56 release # Left Alt

keycode 86 press   # '> < \' key
keycode 86 release # '> < \' key

As you can see the key 'Alt Gr' is not correctly mapped, it should
return 100

Title:
  qemu 1.4.2: usb keyboard not fully working

Status in QEMU:
  New

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.
