I'm running current opensolaris bits (~snv_86, with xvm 3.1.2) + xvm packages
compiled
from b85 xvm sources. In dom0, the Xorg server is used, and a german layout usb
keyboard is used. Before I upgraded to b85 xvm, the keyboard layout was ok in
hvm
domUs (when using the sdl gui). That is, before an OS is loaded (e.g. inside
Solaris' GRUB) I had to use "en-us" keyboard layout - e.g. 'y' and 'z' keys
swapped.
And when an OS is running (e.g. inside Solaris or WinXP) the german keyboard
layout
was OK.
But with xvm b85 the keyboard layout in sdl seems to be completely broken;
both before and after the OS is loaded. For example I've been unable to
type the ":" key in Solaris' GRUB / Solaris kmdb.
I think the root cause is this change, which seems to hardcode "en-us"
keyboard layout for qemu-dm. The original xen code seems to get the
layout from .py config files; why was that changed?
(When I revert that change, hvm keyboard layout is OK, I get pre-b85 behavior)

Temporary fix. I think we shold probably be defaulting to en-us anyway,
but do we need SMF property for this? Shouldn't it be domain-specific?
