Maybe the keymaps don't contain all keys yet, or qemu doesn't support 
the keys mentioned... In the latter case, you should see messages like 
"no scancode found for ..." on the console if you press such a key. If 
no such error appears, the problems is probably in the keymap files 
which are somewhere under /usr/share/ ... I think :) . In this case, you 
could experiment with your keymaps and try to add support for your keys 
- other users would surely appreciate this.

About the key problems if not using a keymap: it looks as if this old 
method is "obsoleted" by keymap support; IIRC other keyboard 
improvements (like Windows keys) were only added to keymaps (internally, 
there's a hardcoded keymap in qemu which is used when no -k option is 
given; this really looks obsolete :).

Good luck,
Oliver
