In our language there are many words containing those chars and I really need to have them working. When looking at the sl keymap file, those codes, even for all other chars that I type with showkey --ascii, are different than the showkey outputs, but they work (except those mentioned above). Now I am totally confused on how could those that work, work ... Thanks for any enlightenments in advance :) Matej 2013/9/26 Matej Mailing <mailing@tam.si>: > I am still pretty lost here, also after reading your link which shed a > light to many things. > > Every suggestion and idea is very welcome! > Thanks, > Matej > > 2013/9/24 Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>: >> Not specific to KVM, adding qemu-devel. >> >> Matej Mailing <mailing@tam.si> writes: >> >>> Dear list, >>> >>> I have a problem with a Windows XP guest that I connect to via VNC and >>> is using "sl" keymap (option -k sl). >>> >>> The guest is Windows XP and the problematic characters are s, c and z >>> with caron... when I type them via VNC, they are not printed at all in >>> virtual system...

Jan? Sorry I was on vacation for the past few weeks. I'm back and I'll be sending updated patch later this week. I also added all missing key symbols already used in all keymaps in QEMU which should fix these problems. I'll send this in separate patch. Jan > Regards, > Andreas > > P.S.
