Public bug reported:
KVM and evdev are not very good friends at all. Extended keycodes are
failing completely (up and down arrow for instance).
The bug has been identified and discussed here:
http://www.archivum.info/qemu-
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2008-07/threads.html#00211
The core of the problem is the fact that evdev uses a new keycode
scheme. Before evdev, we could grab the keycode we received and pass
that directly to the guest and we wouldn't have to worry about setting
the right keyboard mapping in the guest. (If you use anything but a US
keymap and have ever used qemu (or kvm before the beginning of this
year), you'll know what a pain this is).
** Affects: kvm (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: kvm
