[Qemu-devel] unknown keycodes `xfree86(abnt2)_aliases(qwerty)'

[Qemu-devel] unknown keycodes `xfree86(abnt2)_aliases(qwerty)'

[Carlos A. M. dos Santos]

Hello,

Each time I start qemu I see this message:

    unknown keycodes `xfree86(abnt2)_aliases(qwerty)', please report
to qemu-devel@nongnu.org

This is harmless, as far as I can tell, since the keyboard still works
correctly. I'm reporting just because qemu asks me to do it. :-)

Here is a summary of my environment:

- FreeBSD 7-STABLE, updated on March 29
- kqemu-kmod-devel-1.4.0.p1_2
- qemu-0.10.2
- xorg-server-1.5.3_7,1

My xorg.conf configures the keyboard to Brazilian Portuguese layout
(a.k.a. ABNT2):

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbRules"  "xorg"
        Option      "XkbModel"  "abnt2"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "br"
EndSection

The message goes away if I invoke qemu with "-k pt-br" but if in this
case I see "Warning: no scancode found for keysym 314" when  I press
an accent dead key. This is a known problem, according to what I found
searching in list archives.

I do not subscribe qemu-devel so please CC'me in your answers.

omelettes, but because I like the sound of eggs being broken.

I changed sdl.c to accept all strings starting with xfree86 and evdev
rather than xfree86_ and evdev_ because we're only interested in
whether the keymap used is an evdev or an X one.  With my Xorg 1.5 I
had a similar warning and someone else using an evdev driver also had
a similar one.

Thanks for report
