What way do you use to iteract with qemu guest console?  Is it some
sort of vnc client, or sdl directly on X window, or something else?

As long as I understand, "proper" VNC client should not have any probs
with keyboard at all, sending just the keycodes to the VNC server
without any need to translate them or to use any keymaps etc.

There was a good writeup about this, but I can't find it right now,
will try to add an url when/if I'll find it.

Now, I've no idea really how keyboard mapping works in qemu, so
the info you provided is of no use to me.  Instead, that info might
be better added to the original launchpad bugreport -- I wont be
able to do anything besides whatever upstream will do.

Speaking of the patch you mentioned in the other email, ofcourse it
is not acceptable since it will break keyboard for everyone else.

Thanks, and please excuse me for being unconstructive.

Adding tags and setting appropriate level of priority.

Thanks,
