[Libvir] [PATCH] Keyboard layout support for QEMU/KVM
This patch adds support for qemu's -k option, which is required to run virt-manager with a non-US keymap. Without it, keys are remapped a number of times, ending up with a completely unusable layout. Even with this patch I am having problems using the AltGr key, returning a scancode of 00. This seems to be a qemu problem though. -- Daniel Hokka Zakrisson

Note that a different solution to the same problem has been proposed by Anthony Liguori. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=478A6BFA.80009%40codemonkey.ws&forum_name=gtk-vnc-devel -- Soren Hansen Ubuntu Server Team http://www.ubuntu.com/

That's tangential. Daniel's patch is needed to support current real world usage of QEMU/KVM. Anthony's proposal is something for future impls.

ACK, this patch looks good - gives parity with key handling in the Xen driver.
