I fixed sdlfb to use scan codes > (assumes standard AT or PS/2 keyboard). vncfb is not fixable. See > comments in the code. I've hacked up my own vnc client (using gtk and libvncserver). That one has a cmd line switch to send us keyboard keysyms no matter what the local keymap is (using a builtin keycode -> keysym table). It isn't perfect, but it is the best solution I've found for vnc so far. I have at least a sane US keyboard within the guests. Loading keymaps within the guest works too and gives the expected results, except that keys not available on a US keyboard don't work (i.e. the 105th key on int'l keyboards). No idea how to tackle that one :-( It's part of the xenwatch package.
